Who can use Deckhand? +
Deckhand is a global product and anyone can use it for both regulatory and business purposes. Currently, Deckhand is an approved electronic logbook for regulators across the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
Why use Deckhand? +
As a company founded by fishermen, we believe your fishing data is your biggest asset. Deckhand ensures your logbook data is collected as you work, the way you work — and provides the pathways to get the right data into the right hands at the right time.
Can I go back and look at my past fishing activity? +
Yes. All data recorded in the Deckhand app is archived and viewable in summaries and reports showing an array of catch and business metrics relevant to your operation.
I'm usually out of cellular range. How do I submit reports? +
Deckhand is designed to work in offline environments. All data is stored locally on your device. An internet connection is only needed to send reports — you never lose a record, even in the most remote fishing grounds.
Can fishing associations use Deckhand? +
Absolutely. If you are a vessel cooperative, trade association, or other type of fishermen's organisation, Deckhand is a powerful tool for your membership. Use our CatchFlow™ workflow customisation engine to tailor Deckhand to your organisation's specific needs.
