Marine Survey Report

Pre-purchase or insurance vessel survey documenting hull, deck, systems, rigging, and seaworthiness.

What's Inside

What a marine survey report covers

A marine survey report documents the condition of hull, deck, engine, electrical, rigging, and safety equipment for pre-purchase or insurance purposes. It's one of the most detail-intensive reports in any trade — covering hundreds of components across mechanical, structural, and safety systems. For marine surveyors, the report is the product. Its thoroughness and clarity directly determine your professional reputation and referral pipeline.

Sample Output

What the AI generates

You speak your observations in plain language. ReportWalk transforms them into professional findings with proper terminology, measurements, and recommendations. Here are examples from a marine survey report:

Hull: Fiberglass, no blisters observed below waterline — moisture meter readings averaging 12% (acceptable below 15%), bottom paint in fair condition with growth at waterline

Engine: Yanmar 4JH4-TE diesel, 1,847 hours — running temperature 175°F, oil pressure 45 PSI at cruise, exhaust clear, slight weep at raw water pump seal

Electrical: 12V DC system with 3 AGM batteries — battery bank testing at 12.4V under load (marginal), shore power system with ELCI functioning properly

Deck hardware: Bow roller cracked at mounting base, anchor windlass chain gypsy worn — chain jumping under load likely, replacement recommended before extended cruising

Safety equipment: 3 PFDs on board (require 4 for vessel capacity), flares expired 2024-08, fire extinguisher gauge in green but mount corroded

Real examples of AI-generated findings from voice input. Your report will use your observations, your photos, your professional judgment — just without the typing.
