For pots and crab
For the crews working the coldest water
Daily SAR-ice, bottom temperature, bottom currents and fleet activity — built around the decisions pot and crab vessels make every trip.
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 pots and crab
Purpose-built for pots and crab
Cold-water conditions, ice, and fleet signals — turned into a workflow for crews working where margins are thin.
Cold-water intel for crab and pot fisheries
Daily SAR-ice maps for working near the ice edge
Bottom temperature to find the cold zones crab concentrate in
Bottom currents that shift your gear between lifts
Pot placement history
See where your pots have been set and what the conditions were when they produced best. Used by 90% of large snow crab vessels in Norway.
Fleet intelligence
Premium AIS to see where other crab and pot vessels work. Historical trends across seasons so you know who fishes where, and when.
Weather the crew can plan around
Hourly marine weather and up to 14-day forecasts
Wave heights and periods for safe pot lifting
Historical weather patterns so you know what's coming

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
Jan Roger Lerbukt
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.
