I'd say first step to stabilize the situation, then get assistance. Often you have someone in the water and unable to help in their own recovery in any way. In a marina, many swim platforms have much better means of getting on them than do dinghies. Some even are hydraulic. Then there's always a boat davit or crane. I'm assuming you had warm water and that provides time. In cold water rescue, obviously much more time sensitive.
