Two Powerful Resources.
Your 2027 membership includes both the Original Boatpokers discussion group you already know and the new Boatpokers AI knowledge resource.
ASK THE FIELD
The Original Boatpokers
Connect directly with credentialed marine surveyors through the familiar Boatpokers email discussion group. Ask questions, share experiences, compare approaches, and get real-world input from professionals working in the field.
Those conversations are also preserved in the searchable Boatpokers archives, creating a growing record of practical marine surveying knowledge.
ASK THE KNOWLEDGE BASE
Boatpokers AI
Search a carefully curated collection of marine surveying resources, including respected books, established industry standards, archived Boatpokers discussions, and other trusted professional materials.
Unlike typical AI tools, Boatpokers AI is not simply gathering information from across the open internet. Its answers are grounded in sources selected for their value to working marine surveyors.
Get both for the entire 2027 calendar year for just $95 when you sign up in September.
