You could do the stand by. I have only once not gotten over on stand by, but I made it on the next boat. Same for coming back. That is in the fall when there are far fewer people but also far fewer boats running.
Funny story from this past fall. A family rented a jeep and went out on the town beach. Made it about 50' from the bathhouse and buried that thing like they were trying. They asked for a tow out, I declined since my transfer case is iffy and offered them moral support and some ideas. First question I asked was "is it in 4 wheel drive", they weren't sure so I hop in the drivers seat and see the sticker that says "4x4 disabled, $250.00 fine for beach driving". They were way past the point of digging out, they had to jack and fill but didn't have a jack. Talked to them the next day, 400.00.
