Why Deckhand

Built for the Way You Work

From a single vessel to a 160-boat fleet, Deckhand scales to fit your operation without changing how you fish.

One App

All your data at your fingertips, all the time. Monitor catch totals in real time as you work — maintenance, catch and effort, regulatory logs, crew safety, and more.

Choose Your Workflow

Create a workflow that best suits your business or industry using Deckhand's CatchFlow™ customisation engine. Tailor the app to your fishery without building from scratch.

Works Offline

Designed for offshore environments. Deckhand works without a signal and an internet connection is only needed to send reports — via WiFi, cellular, or satellite.

Testimonials

Hear From Our Customers

Fishermen, associations, and fleet managers share their experience with Deckhand.

At some point in the near future, we will be required to do all submissions electronically and it is amazing the Deckhand is helping get ahead of the game and give people opportunity to lead in that change and create solutions that fit the fleet rather than be forced into unexpected regulation or role change.

Lauren Howard Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association

Deckhand saves me hours every trip. It works the way I work — whether I've got a signal or not — and it's a lot easier to carry than those big federal logbooks. What I really appreciate is that the Deckhand team actually listens; every update makes the app better because they take user feedback seriously. It's made keeping records simple instead of a chore.

Michael Offerman F/V Pacific Sojurn

Deckhand has been a game changer for our fleet. SEPFA is the principal association for the 160 vessels in the South Eastern Rock Lobster fleet in South Australia, and we've been using the Deckhand Electronic Logbook for nearly a decade. Before, our fishermen used to spend hours filling out paper logbooks — not only time-consuming, but prone to errors. With Deckhand, everything is much more efficient and accurate.

Nathan Kimber Executive Officer, SEPFA

The Deckhand Logbook has been a game-changer for me. I used to spend hours every trip manually recording data. Now, with this streamlined tool, I save 20–30 minutes a day. Deckhand's clear layout makes it easy to record sets and catch data, reducing the chance of errors and ensuring compliance. The ability to work offline is a lifesaver when I'm in remote areas.
