Had the grandson out for his 1st inflatable boat ride and he threw a fit. Picture pretty much shows it all. He finally just went to sleep.

My youngest was afraid of the jet skis at first till I let him think he was driving now he asks to take his jet ski out all the time.

Maybe the next time you go, make a big show of you getting ready, showing him stuff he likely remembers from this boat trip, but with no sign that he will be accompanying you (him being supervised by someone else ready to look after him). Ideally, let him watch you drive away, or at least start to. That could just be the ticket to get him to make a fuss about going with you. Just a thought.

It happens. That said - was there anyone on shore who was acting apprehensively about the trip, or a previous outing with water (bath/pool) that didn't go so well? That said he looks great in his PFD.

Not that I'm aware of. He likes engines so he just stared at the OB mostly.
