With the lifesaver The thing that looks like a donut
If a passenger falls overboard, immediately shout for assistance and alert the crew while keeping a close eye on the individual in the water. Maneuver the boat safely to position it downwind or upwind of the person, depending on conditions, and throw them a flotation device if available. Maintain visual contact with the person and ensure that no one else is at risk while they are being pulled back on board. Once they are safely back in the boat, check for any injuries and provide assistance as needed.
If a person falls overboard, you should reach for a life preserver and try to help them.
stop the boat is a good idea
To safely pull a passenger back into a small boat after they fall overboard, first ensure the boat is stable and not moving quickly. Use a reaching or throwing device, like a rope with a buoy attached, to help the person regain grip. If possible, have someone in the boat lean over to assist them while maintaining balance, and instruct the person to kick their legs to help propel themselves towards the boat. Once close enough, help them pull themselves back in using handholds or by lifting them from under their arms.
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.
