The Intelligence Platform

Sedna

An AI-powered intelligence system that captures decades of offshore experience, augments it with real-time analytical tools, and deploys the full stack on the water via Starlink.

Curious what this looks and feels like? Just ask.

01

Knowledge Library

Decades of captain intelligence — species behavior, seasonal patterns, structure preferences, rigging configurations — encoded into a structured, searchable knowledge base that Sedna can reason over.

Crowd-sourced offshore experience from expert captains
Continuously expanding through trip reports and intel feeds
Queryable by species, season, structure, or condition
SST 68.2° BFT × 3 YFT × 5 MAHI × 12 WAH × 2 SST 72.1° SET NE 1.2kt

SST Analysis

Sea surface temperature is the single most telling variable in offshore fishing. Sedna harvests daily MUR SST data from NOAA ERDDAP, tracks thermal edges, computes historical normals, and flags anomalies across every waypoint in the system.

Bathymetric Modeling

Sedna maintains a detailed picture of the underwater landscape — canyon walls, ledges, humps, and drop-offs. Structure is where fish live, and understanding its shape in three dimensions is the foundation of every deployment plan.

Solunar & Tidal Forecasting

Moon phase, solar position, and tidal flow create the rhythm of offshore activity. Sedna integrates solunar forecasting and tidal data to identify high-probability windows — then layers them against SST and structure to pinpoint when and where to be.

Tidal current modeling for canyon and shelf edges
Multi-variable scoring — solunar × tide
Solunar Feeding Forecast — 24-hour activity curve with major and minor feeding windows, tide overlay, and daylight band

Real-Time Decision Support

On the water, Sedna becomes the co-captain. Deployed via Starlink, it synthesizes live conditions with pre-trip analysis to surface recommendations in real time — where to move, when to adjust, what the data is saying right now.

Before. During. After.

Sedna follows the trip from the planning desk the night before to the dock debrief when you tie up. Nine briefing modules, real-time tactical support, and automated post-trip logging — one system across the full arc of every offshore day.

Pre-trip intelligence brief

The night before or morning of departure. Select your target date, destination, species, and departure port — Sedna synthesizes tidal data, SST conditions, solunar windows, species timing, and bathymetric intelligence into a multi-module briefing. Share it with your crew as a branded trip page, or print it for the helm station.

01
Select Your Trip
Date, destination, species targets, departure port, and which modules you want. Takes about 60 seconds.
02
Sedna Computes
Real tide predictions, SST cross-references, solunar scoring, transit calculations, gear templates — all computed from source data, not guesses.
03
Share With Your Crew
Generate a branded trip page with Google Maps, captain contact, and every module rendered. Text the link to your crew the night before.

Post-trip logging and debrief

Text in catch photos and a few details while the crew washes down. Sedna structures the catch log, generates a shareable trip report for guests and the captain's archive, and feeds the data back into the intelligence layer. Every trip sharpens the next one.

📋

Automated Catch Logging

Photo-based extraction: species, estimated weight, time, method, location. Structured data from casual cockpit photos — 25-field schema, zero manual spreadsheets.

📄

Shareable Trip Reports

PDF trip summaries auto-generated with catch data, conditions, and photos. Send to guests, keep in the captain's archive, or share with the network.

🔄

Intelligence Integration

Catch data, conditions observed, and performance notes feed back into Sedna's knowledge layer. The system gets smarter with every trip logged.

📊

Season Analytics

Catch rates by species, location, method, and conditions — tracked across the full season. Patterns emerge that inform next year's strategy.

On the Horizon
Real-time co-captain via Starlink

From departure to return. Starlink-connected and continuously adaptive — Sedna rides along as an AI co-captain, synthesizing live conditions with pre-trip analysis. SST overlays, current-edge tracking, tactical adjustments as the bite develops. The pre-trip plan meets the real world, and Sedna adjusts in real time. A product being built, right now, by captains for captains. More deployment news to come.

📡

Starlink Deployment

Full Sedna stack accessible 80+ miles offshore. The same intelligence platform that built the briefing is available at the helm, live.

🌡️

Live Condition Reads

Real-time SST and condition analysis. Sedna interprets what the instruments are showing and recommends tactical adjustments.

🎯

Adaptive Tactics

As conditions shift — temperature breaks move, current changes, species activity evolves — Sedna recalculates and updates recommendations.

📸

On-Water Catch Logging

Snap a photo from the cockpit, text a few details. Sedna extracts species, estimated weight, time, and method — structured data from a phone photo.
