Poole RNLI were called to reports of a jetski which had run out of fuel near Studland on Saturday night.
The lifeboat team were alerted aroung 7.20pm to reports of one person onboard a jetski towing another in between Old Harry Rocks and the Harbour entrance.
The towing jetski had run out of fuel.
A spokesperson said: "In flat calm conditions, with nothing visual, further information came through that the two jetskis and one person were near the shore so a search of Studland Bay commenced."
The jet skis were found near the Training Bank in Studland with one of the vessels partly submerged and aground.
Poole Lifeboat volunteers offered to tow the floating jetski and one occupant back to Baiter Park however this offer was declined, a spokesperson said.
"Poole Lifeboat requested Swanage Coastguard to attend.
"As discussions continued to take place and with the tide dropping the second jetski was aground and the person now ashore.
"The offer to take the person back to Baiter Park was again declined.
"With no other options available from the lifeboat, the volunteers left the scene leaving the person on the beach on the care of Swanage Coastguard."
Earlier in the day, the D class lifeboat was called to a report of a 18ft white hull dinghy capsized.
After a search, it was deemed a call with good intent.
