Abstract

A remote user-operated, user-transporting marine craft system is disclosed that includes a marine craft (20) having a hull and a propulsion device and including a wireless receiving device (112) adapted and configured to receive a signal component that operates and controls the propulsion device, and a remote control device (64) that is operatively and wirelessly associated with the wireless receiving device for transmitting a signal component, wherein the user controls movement of and is transported by the marine craft using the remote control device to generate and transmit the signal component to the receiving device to operate and control the propulsion device. Also disclosed are methods of water-skiing solo; water-skiing kits; a remote, user-operated marine craft drone system that carries a goal-specific device intended to carry out a task; remote control automatic retrieval device; remote control retrieval system and methods; and remote-control, user-transporting combinations.
