You would rescue those in the water first.
Reason being if you attempted to rescue the people on the boat first. Those in the water would most likely swim to you to get picked up. But because you are maneuvering to keep station alongside the burning boat. There is a very good chance of loosing track of those in the water and turning them into chum with your propellers.
If anyone gets burned, its their own stupid fault for not jumping in the water like the others.
