eCatch ACV is a free mobile app for all Amateur Charter Vessel (ACV) operators to record fishing activity on, as required by MPI. This replaces the old paper-based reporting system. The app is easy to download onto any modern mobile device and to use during ACV fishing trips each day.
Vessel registration and re-registration is still handled by FishServe. For information on how to register or re-register your Amateur Charter Vessel operation, refer to the MPI website: https://www.mpi.govt.nz/fishing-aquaculture/recreational-fishing/charter-fishing-boat-operators/

The eCatch ACV Logbook app is available on mobile app stores.

Once downloaded, follow the instructions in the app to set up your electronic logbook.

For step-by-step instructions on how to use the app, download and refer to our how-to guide.
