Towing a Person With a Vessel

Motorboat and PWC operators towing a person(s) on water skis, a wakeboard, a parasail, or any other device must do so safely and responsibly.

• Persons may be towed behind a motorboat or PWC on water skis, a wakeboard, a parasail, or any other device only during daylight hours (sunrise to sunset).
• A reasonable distance from other vessels, people, and property must be maintained so as not to endanger life or property. It is illegal to cause the person being towed to collide with any object or person.
• It is against Missouri law to operate water skis, wakeboards, or other such devices while intoxicated.
