Worksmith Marine is an AI tool for drafting marine survey reports. You collect photos, handwritten notes, voice memos and typed observations on the boat, and it drafts a condition and value report in your own template from them. It has iOS and Android apps and a desktop web app, and costs $299 a month or $2,999 a year per account.
If you're looking at Worksmith, you want the report written for you. Axsail does that too, and it works while you're still on board. You talk through the boat, each finding is written as you go, and anything missing is asked for before you leave.
Why surveyors choose Axsail
The gaps get filled on board
A report drafted after the survey can only use what you collected. If you didn't say the battery voltage or which hose you meant, the draft has a gap and you're back on the phone to the owner. Axsail checks each finding as you speak and asks for what the checklist item needs, a reading, a service date, a location, while you're still standing at it.
Every photo lands on its finding
Take a photo while you talk about the stern gland, and it goes on the stern gland finding. No sorting a few hundred photos at the desk, and no photo appendix the reader has to match up by hand.
You pay for reports, not months
Surveying is seasonal. A subscription at $299 a month costs the same in a quiet January as in a busy June. Axsail credits are bought for the year and used when you finalise a report, by survey type and boat length, the way you price your own work:
| Survey, boat up to 40 ft |
Credits |
Cost on Axsail |
| Insurance, C&V or damage |
1 |
€9.97 to €14.75 |
| Pre-purchase |
2 |
€19.94 to €29.50 |
Recording, drafts, edits and amendments use no credits. See pricing.
Below decks with no signal
The engine room and the bilge are where signal drops. Axsail's phone app turns your speech into text on the phone itself, so recording carries on, and the findings catch up when you reconnect.
Try it on your next survey
Record your next survey on Axsail as you go, and compare the draft with the report you'd normally write. New accounts get 4 free credits for 6 months, no card needed. Start free, or see how it works.
