For boaters, wakeboarders & PWC riders
On the water,
there's no shoulder to pull over on.
Wake, ski, tube and PWC days happen on lakes and coastline far from a hospital. GME ACTION members get access to coordinated medical transportation and travel-related benefits.
Medical transportation membership. Not health insurance.
Serious member benefits. Surprisingly affordable.
Preparation
The boat is ready before you launch.
- Life jackets.
- Kill switch.
- Ropes and handles.
- Fuel.
- Cooler and shade.
- Trailer bearings.
- The launch permit.
- The whole summer.
The one thing that isn't on the boat.
Everything on your safety checklist is about preventing the incident. Membership is about what happens after one.
See Membership OptionsThe scenario
Mid-lake. Nobody else on the water.
Late afternoon.A hard fall at speed.You can't get them back in the boat easily.
Water incidents add a step nobody accounts for: you have to get to shore first, and shore is often a gravel ramp miles from a road.
- Getting to shore safely
- Meeting an ambulance at the ramp
- Air transport from a remote lake
- Spinal precautions on the water
- A hospital far from home
- The boat, the trailer and the truck
- The kids still on board
GME ACTION is designed to provide eligible members with medical transportation and related assistance benefits when situations like this occur, subject to the Member Agreement.

That step costs time.

How the water actually gets used
Towed sports, personal watercraft and open-water days are all part of the picture.
Participation in an activity is not automatically disqualifying solely because the activity involves inherent risk.
Eligibility and benefits remain subject to the GME ACTION Member Agreement and any applicable participation requirements. Eligible event and competition participation is subject to membership terms, and professional, paid, sponsored or specially sanctioned participation may require additional approval, conditions or disclosure — contact us before joining so we can confirm what applies to you.
The difference
This is not health insurance.
It does something different.
Health insurance
Generally helps address:
- Doctors
- Hospitals
- Treatment
- Medical procedures
- Healthcare expenses
GME ACTION
Focuses on eligible:
- Medical transportation
- Emergency transportation
- Transportation assistance
- Repatriation
- Return transportation
- Travel-related assistance benefits
GME ACTION is designed to complement your existing preparation — not replace health insurance.
Transportation risk
Remote water means air transport
Lakes and coastline with limited road access frequently mean a helicopter, which is the most expensive transport there is.
Average air-ambulance charges vary widely by distance, aircraft and region; figures cited are based on publicly reported U.S. billing data and are illustrative only.

The distance problem
Getting a patient off the water and to a road is a whole stage of rescue that doesn't exist on land.
Worth knowing
- Cold-water shock and near-drownings escalate faster than almost any other action-sports incident.
- Give responders the boat ramp or dock name — it's the only place they can reach you.
Not just when you're riding.
Benefits apply to a qualifying serious illness or injury, not only to injuries that happen during your sport.
