Towing a Person With a Vessel

Vessel operators towing a person(s) using a parasail or on water skis, a surfboard, or a similar device must do so safely and responsibly.

• It is illegal for vessels to tow skiers or surfboards, parasails, or any device of this type between sunset and sunrise or when visibility is restricted so as to endanger life or property.
• Vessels towing water-skiers or participating in a similar activity must operate in a careful and prudent manner. 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.
