Section 3: Emergency Procedures

What to Do if You Fall Overboard.

Falling off is possible, but staying calm is essential. Your life vest will keep you afloat.

Remain Calm: Do not panic. Your USCG-approved life vest will keep you afloat.
Approach from the Rear: Always approach the PWC from the back (stern) to avoid injury.
Use the Re-boarding Step: Carefully use the handle and step on the back of the PWC to pull yourself up.
Signal for Help: If you are unable to re-board, stay with the PWC and use your whistle or raise your arms to signal for assistance.

Section 4: Special Notice for Non-Swimmers

⚠️ **HIGH RISK ACKNOWLEDGMENT** ⚠️

If you cannot swim, you must understand that participating in this activity is extremely dangerous. A life vest reduces but does not eliminate the risk of drowning. We require non-swimmers to sign an additional waiver acknowledging this high risk.

For your safety, we **strongly advise** that all non-swimmers are accompanied by a capable swimming buddy over the age of 21 on the same PWC.

By proceeding with your rental, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by all the terms, conditions, and safety rules outlined here and in the full waiver agreement.
