Marina Boat Slip Inspection Checklist

Maintaining safe and functional boat slips is critical for any marina operation. This Marina Boat Slip Inspection Checklist helps marina managers, dock masters, and facilities teams conduct thorough, standardized inspections of electrical pedestals, water lines, dock cleats, and other essential slip infrastructure.

Whether you're running a small community marina or a large commercial harbor, regular slip inspections protect both your customers and your business. This template guides inspectors through systematic assessments of electrical safety, water system integrity, structural components, and environmental conditions—ensuring nothing gets missed during routine walkthroughs.

Key features of this marina inspection form:

• Electrical pedestal safety checks including GFCI functionality, power cord conditions, and breaker panel integrity
• Water line assessments covering hose conditions, valve operations, and leak detection
• Dock cleat and hardware inspections to identify wear, corrosion, or structural concerns
• Conditional logic that reveals follow-up questions when issues are identified
• Photo documentation for visual records of damage or concerns
• Inspector signatures for accountability and record-keeping

With Paperform's mobile-friendly design, your team can complete inspections directly from the dock using tablets or smartphones. All submissions are automatically logged with timestamps, making it simple to track maintenance schedules, identify recurring issues, and demonstrate compliance with safety regulations.

For marinas managing multiple inspections across different slips and facilities, Stepper can automate your post-inspection workflows—automatically creating work orders in your maintenance system when issues are flagged, notifying dock staff of urgent repairs, or scheduling follow-up inspections. You can also use Papersign to capture digital signatures from inspectors and supervisors, creating a complete audit trail for insurance and regulatory purposes.

This template is ideal for marina operators, harbor masters, yacht clubs, boat storage facilities, and waterfront property managers who need to maintain safe, compliant docking infrastructure while streamlining their inspection and maintenance processes.
