For pelagic fleets
Time the fishery. Don't try to predict it.
Premium AIS, upwelling signals and currents — the tools pelagic crews use to be there when it counts. The skipper makes the call, not the software.
Why skippers switch
Legacy tools show data. Catchwise helps crews work with it. The difference shows up on the bridge — not on a spec sheet.
Faster in daily use
Quicker on the bridge, smoother underway. The small moments add up over a trip.
Deeper, not broader
Click, inspect, dig, compare. A workflow built to understand what's happening — not just a map of layers.
Built for captains
Heavy actual usage drives what we build. Crews reach for Catchwise because it makes their decisions easier.
Built for pelagic
Purpose-built for pelagic
AIS timing, feed signals, streams and the ground beneath — what it takes to time the fishery and protect the haul.
Premium AIS, built for timing
Three satellite AIS networks combined for the densest coverage
Near-continuous updates so you see the fishery as it happens
Fishing activity detected from tracklines — not just positions
Follow the feed
Upwellings and downwellings surface nutrients. See where the feed aggregates — because that's where the fish usually is.
Streams and currents
Surface and deep currents layered with your tracks. Follow the travelling fish, and catch them where the stream slows.
Clean hauls, better quota
The biggest wreck database for Norwegian and Nordic waters
Seabed composition layer to avoid rocky ground
Plan seine and trawl runs with confidence before committing

Catchwise has become an important tool in my daily operations. Artificial intelligence gives us better decision-making foundations, saves time, and contributes to more sustainable fishing. Catchwise is forward-thinking and innovative, showing how technology can make a real difference in modern fisheries.

10/10 - Intuitive, innovative and practical. Easy to practice for all generations.
Kyrre Flemming Nilsen
Manager of Skjongholm
We wanted to be involved from the very beginning, as this is an opportunity to create something completely unique. With Catchwise, we connect experience and technology in a way that can change how we work with data and decisions for increased profitability and environmental impact

Ship Owner @ Hermes and Leader of the Norwegian Fishermen's Association
These numbers don't show that Catchwise alone creates the difference — fishing is affected by weather, quotas and the skippers' own decisions. But the pattern is consistent with feedback we receive.
