A passenger on a small boat falls overboard how should this person be pulled back into the boat?

To safely pull a passenger back into a small boat after they fall overboard, first ensure the boat is stable and not moving quickly. Use a reaching or throwing device, like a rope with a buoy attached, to help the person regain grip. If possible, have someone in the boat lean over to assist them while maintaining balance, and instruct the person to kick their legs to help propel themselves towards the boat. Once close enough, help them pull themselves back in using handholds or by lifting them from under their arms.
