Frequently asked questions

Who we are

We're technology entrepreneurs and lifelong boaters. We've spent decades building software that solves real problems for specialized industries — and we've spent just as many years on boats.

SurveyTier started with a simple question from a marine surveyor friend: “Why does every inspection take four hours, but every report take twelve?”

We heard that question from surveyor after surveyor — experienced professionals who are experts at what they do on the boat, but stuck with outdated tools at the desk. So we built the platform they asked for.
