The best way to reboard a personal watercraft (PWC) on the water is to approach it from the rear, ensuring the engine is turned off and the kill switch is attached to your wrist. Use your arms to pull yourself onto the PWC while keeping your weight centered to avoid tipping. Once on the craft, sit upright and stabilize yourself before starting the engine again. If needed, you can also use a swim platform or the side of the PWC to assist with the reboarding process.

Ensure the PWC is right side up and that the engine has stopped. Swim to the back of the PWC. If the PWC has a re-boarding step, use that. If the PWC has a grab bar on the back of the seat, use that. The basic idea is to grab onto something so that you can pull yourself up enough to get your knees onto the rear deck. Once you've done that, you can pull your body up.

A PWC is a Power Driven Vessel so she must give way.
