Leave the boat with the report drafted
Talk through the survey on your phone and take photos as you go. Axsail writes up the findings, puts each photo on the right one, keeps track of every system and asks for missing readings while you're still on board. You review it and sign it
Where it fits in your surveys
Insurance and annual condition surveys with every system covered, and the reason recorded for anything you couldn't reach
Findings with severity and recommendations the buyer can act on, delivered on the day of the survey
Back on the same boat? Press Continue and add to the same review. Everything you confirmed stays put
Your photos, sorted before you leave the boat
Shoot as you always do, with the camera in the Axsail app. Each photo goes on the finding you were talking about, and into the report beside it.
Pick the vessel photo for the cover in one tap. A photo of the nameplate or an overview stays off the findings until you place it.
Every finding, the same fields
Your format, your signature
The report lists every system with its remarks, then the findings grouped by severity with your recommendations.
You confirm each finding before it goes in, and the report reaches the client only after you sign it.
Once finalised, an issue never changes. Amendments go out as the next issue.
- Shore power inlet: burn marks and melted plastic around the pins. Replace the inlet.
- Raw water seacock under the starboard heads sink: seized. Free or replace before the sea trial.
- Port stanchion, second from bow: base loose, sealant cracked. Re-bed and tighten.
- House battery no. 2: 11.8 V, positive terminal corroded. Clean and load test.
- Port engine: light oil weep at the aft end of the sump. Clean down and monitor.
Before your first survey with Axsail
How long until I can use it?
Minutes. Install the app on your iPhone or Android, log in, run a short practice inspection, and you're ready for your next survey
Do I have to hold the phone?
Only if you want to. Put it in your pocket and keep both hands for the boat: recording carries on, questions arrive as a buzz and you answer out loud. Take it out for photos
Does it work below decks and in the engine room?
Yes. Your phone turns speech into text on its own, so recording carries on without signal. The text uploads when the phone reconnects and the findings catch up
Can I use my own checklist and report template?
The checklist follows a standard yacht condition survey. Send us your template and we'll talk it through
Who owns the data?
You do. Inspections, transcripts and reports belong to your practice
