You are towing a skier with a PWC and have an observer on board. How many people must the PWC be rated to carry?
A PWC (Personal Watercraft) towing a skier with an observer on board must be rated to carry at least four people. This includes the operator, the observer, the skier being towed, and one additional passenger. Proper safety and legal regulations dictate that the PWC must have sufficient capacity to accommodate all individuals involved. Always check local laws for specific requirements.

Watch the skier
The role of the second person on a vessel towing a skier is to observe the towed person.
When towing a skier, the minimum distance that should be maintained between the towing vessel and the skier is typically at least 100 feet. This distance helps ensure the skier's safety by providing enough space to maneuver and react to any potential hazards. Additionally, local regulations may specify different distances, so it's essential to check the specific rules in your area. Always prioritize safety and maintain clear communication with the skier.
The second person in a boat towing a skier typically serves as a spotter. Their role is to keep an eye on the skier, ensuring their safety and signaling to the operator if the skier falls or needs assistance. This helps the operator maintain focus on navigating the boat while ensuring the skier's wellbeing.
