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.

When someone falls overboard, the skipper should immediately shout "Man overboard!" to alert the crew and keep visual contact with the person in the water. The skipper should then turn the boat around in a controlled manner, ideally using a figure-eight maneuver to return to the person's location. Deploy a flotation device if possible and ensure that crew members are ready to assist with rescue efforts. Finally, monitor the overboard individual closely while coordinating the rescue.
