Towing a Person With a Vessel

Vessel operators towing a person(s) on water skis, aquaplanes, tubes, kneeboards, or similar devices must do so safely and responsibly.

• A vessel may tow a person(s) on water skis, a surfboard, or other device only between the hours of sunrise and sunset.
• It is illegal to operate any vessel or manipulate any water skis, an aquaplane, or a similar device in a careless, reckless, or negligent manner that endangers the life, limb, or property of any person.
• Except for taking off from shore, the towing vessel must stay at least 100 feet from shores, piers, bridges, people in the water, and other passing vessels.
