Captain and Creator Pilot
Become a Fish Fathom Captain Partner.
Fish Fathom is recruiting a small group of captains, tackle shops, marinas, and serious fishing creators who can teach practical trip planning with real map context, private spots, routes, downloaded areas, and Captain Brad.
Partner funnel
A simple path from fit check to field-ready demo.
The pilot is designed for partners who can help anglers understand the planning workflow before they buy, book, or burn fuel.
Choose the workflow
Pick the first planning story you would demo: structure scouting, weather windows, private spots, or post-trip review.
Launch with assets
Selected partners receive product access, talking points, regional screenshots, and campaign links by request.
Measure qualified demand
We prioritize partners who can create informed installs, trip-planning conversations, and Premium-ready users.
Who this is for
A practical pilot for people anglers already ask for advice.
The pilot is for partners who can show how to plan a run, explain what layers mean, and protect the knowledge that keeps a captain or local shop valuable.
Charter captains
Show clients how you prepare with structure, weather windows, routes, saved marks, and low-service map prep.
Tackle shops and marinas
Help customers leave with a clearer plan for nearby offshore structure, safe access, and repeat trip prep.
Fishing creators
Turn pre-trip scouting, map-layer comparisons, and post-trip reviews into useful content with a direct app path.
Partner tracks
Match the program to the way anglers already trust you.

Pilot kit
Selected partners get assets they can actually use.
We are keeping the first group focused. The goal is not a public feed or a mass affiliate page. It is a field-tested program where partners can teach better planning while keeping sensitive fishing knowledge private.
- Fish Fathom access
App access for selected partners so demos can be current and credible.
- Demo assets
Regional screenshots, talking points, and sample workflows for real planning scenarios.
- Campaign support
Landing pages plus campaign and referral links by request for partners who prove a fit.
Application rubric
Make the first email specific enough to evaluate.
A clear application helps us move faster. The strongest requests explain the exact region, audience, demo workflow, and activation path instead of asking for a generic affiliate code.
Apply with the full templateRegion and species focus
Gulf red snapper, grouper, kingfish, wreck fishing, Great Lakes structure, or another specific planning context.
Audience and trust channel
Charter clients, shop customers, marina members, tournament anglers, YouTube, Instagram, email, or events.
First demo workflow
The first Fish Fathom story you can teach: map layers, weather windows, offline prep, private history, or Captain Brad.
Activation idea
The concrete launch path: QR card, seminar, video, trip recap, newsletter, landing page, or referral link request.
What partners can demo
Three workflows that make the app easy to explain.
01
Pre-trip structure scouting
Compare bathymetry, relief, offshore conditions, and commercial vessel track context before deciding where a run deserves fuel.
02
Route and downloaded-area prep
Save waypoints, review routes, and prepare downloaded map areas for low-service water instead of waiting until the boat is already offshore.
03
Post-trip diary review
Use private diary notes, catch history, and Captain Brad questions to review what worked, what changed, and what to try on the next trip.
Fit criteria
We are looking for useful educators, not empty promotion.
Fish Fathom is strongest when a knowledgeable person shows anglers how to think through a trip. The pilot is selective so the story stays clear and credible.
Local offshore or coastal authority
You understand the water, species, structure, and practical planning decisions in your region.
Active audience or customer base
You regularly reach anglers through trips, a shop counter, a marina, YouTube, Instagram, email, or events.
Respect for private spots
You can teach planning without exposing exact marks or turning local knowledge into a public feed.
