97% gross margin SaaS, built in a quarter.
A fishing intelligence SaaS built on Astro, Supabase, Gemini, and Claude Vision. We built it ourselves. It makes 97% margins. And it shows exactly what we can do for clients.
Sportfishing
without the spreadsheets.
Serious anglers use tide charts, moon phases, weather windows, water temp, NOAA data, and instinct. The data exists. It's just scattered across nine sources.
The brief came from inside the boat.
The brief was: stop reading nine browser tabs.
Kit runs DirtyBoat Charters out of Islamorada. Building FishIntel started as a personal tool, became the studio's SaaS.
Unifies NOAA marine data, tide and lunar forecasts, satellite SST, and catch logs into one intelligence layer for anglers.
The build became proof: same stack we offer clients, shipped complete SaaS from idea to revenue in one quarter.
Know where the fish are.
Before you leave the dock.
Nine data sources, one AI intelligence layer, daily fishing forecasts tuned to your species, location, conditions.
Real-time sea surface temperature from NOAA satellite data. Color-mapped temperature gradient overlays showing the productive edges where fish concentrate.
Tide phase, moon phase, and their combined impact on feeding activity. Ranked bite windows based on historic performance data for each tidal state.
NOAA marine forecasts processed through a go/no-go model. Wind, swell height, visibility, and barometric pressure all weighted against fishable thresholds.
Gemini and Claude Vision layer synthesizes all data sources into a single daily recommendation: where to go, what tide stage to fish, which species to target, and why.
Built from inside the fishery by Captain Kit Mobley. 35 years on Florida Keys waters. The model is tuned to Keys species, Keys structure, and Keys conditions.
Trip planning, customer-facing forecast summaries, and compliance reminders for FWC seasonal rules. Built for the operator who runs the boat, not just fishes from it.
Built fast.
Operates clean.
A complete SaaS product on the studio's standard stack, Astro for the surface, Supabase for the data and auth, Stripe for revenue, Gemini and Claude Vision powering the intelligence layer.
Nine sources,
one prediction.
NOAA marine data, satellite SST, tidal forecasts, lunar phase, weather windows, and historical catch records combined through a model layer that produces a daily fishing forecast.
Stripe subscriptions,
97% gross margin.
Tiered subscriptions for charter captains, marina operators, and serious anglers. Infrastructure cost is dominated by API calls, revenue scales linearly with subscribers; cost barely moves.
The fastest reference
is the one we own.
Studio-owned product,
client-proof pipeline.
FishIntel exists for two reasons: it serves an actual market we know intimately, and it proves the build pipeline we sell. The latter is the strategic case.
A studio that bills six figures to build product on a stack should have shipped its own product on that stack first. Otherwise it's a tutorial.
FishIntel is the proof. The Astro / Supabase / Stripe / Gemini / Claude Vision stack runs at a margin profile that compounds. Clients who hire us are buying access to that same pipeline.
