Marine Inspect is a UK survey platform with apps for iPhone, iPad and Android and a web portal. You work through a checklist for the boat type and survey purpose, marking each item Pass, Fail, Needs Attention or N/A with a note, a photo and an A, B or C category. Notes can be dictated on each item, and the report is drafted from the checklist. Reports cost £10 to £15 each, plus VAT, as listed on its site.
If you're looking at Marine Inspect, you want the report drafted for you and you want to work offline. Axsail does both, without the checklist in your hand. You talk through the boat, each finding is written from what you say, and anything missing is asked for before you leave.
Why surveyors choose Axsail
Walk the boat in your own order
A checklist sets the order: open the item, pick a status, dictate, close it, find the next one. On a 40 ft boat that's a long scroll. With Axsail you survey the way you always have, deck, rig, interior, engine room, and talk. Come back to the stern gland twenty minutes later and the same finding is updated.
What you say becomes the finding
"Engine room, port side, raw water pump weeping at the shaft seal, rebuild before the next season." Axsail turns that into one finding under the engine, with the location, the recommendation and a suggested grade. There's no form to fill in.
The gaps get filled on board
A report drafted from a checklist can only use what was entered. If you didn't give the battery voltage, the draft has a gap. Axsail checks each finding as you speak and asks for the missing reading, service date or location while you're still standing at it.
Photos go where they belong
Take a photo while you talk about the cockpit drains and it goes on the cockpit drain finding. No opening the right item first, and no sorting at the desk.
Pricing by survey type and length
You price surveys by type and by the foot. Axsail credits work the same way:
