It is illegal to tow a person on water skis or any other device behind a vessel without a competent observer on board, in addition to the operator of the vessel. The observer must be at least 12 years old and able to communicate with the operator to ensure safety. Additionally, towing after dark or in restricted visibility conditions is also prohibited. Always check local regulations, as they may vary.

In Alabama, when towing a person behind a boat, it is illegal to tow without a competent observer on board the towing vessel, and the person being towed must wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD). Additionally, towing is prohibited during nighttime hours, and boats must maintain a safe distance from other vessels, swimmers, and the shoreline. It's also illegal to tow a person who is not able to swim or is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
In New Mexico, whenever a person on water skis or other towable water device has fallen down or is waiting to be picked up, a person aboard the towing vessel must display orange or red "skier down" flag

A vessel displaying sidelights, a sternlight, and two all-round lights in a vertical line is typically a power-driven vessel that is 50 meters or more in length. The two all-round lights indicate that it is engaged in fishing or another specific activity, such as towing or dredging. This configuration helps other vessels identify its activities and navigate safely around it.
