Throw the life preserver or anything that would float and alert the other people on board. Try to keep the person calm and watch them at all times.

What should a person do if someone on their boat falls overboard?

There's a couple things you should do when someone on their boat falls overboard. The first thing you should do is scream "MAN OVERBOARD." The captain should stop the boat and someone has to keep an eye on the person that fell over. You then throw a flotation device into the water where the person is and pull them in.

What should you do first when some one falls overboard?

Call for help; if there is a life ring and rope available, toss it past them (so that the rope falls near them). Remember the 4 basic rules of lifesaving; "Reach, Throw, Row, Go"... in other words, if they're close enough that you can reach them, or use a pole or other object, do that first. Second, throw a life ring, rope, or line. Third, go after them in a small boat, Go (as in jumping in) should always be the last resort, because then there are two of you in the water, and one of them is already panicking.
