A. Penny & Kemahame!
Complete orders for Coins & XP.
Fulfill Kamehame's 3 orders and Penny's 5 for the BIG prize! (Coins, XP + GOODIES {planks, bricks, screws}!)
There is a time limit on fulfilling the orders, watch it, if it runs out you can't complete for big end prize. While they are "eating" tap on person for preview of what will be in next order. For each task level there will be 2 options to fulfill that task.
They'll let you know when they're done.(Green smiley face icon 😊 will appear above heads. If you don't have time to fulfill order, don't collect, leave smiley icon; timer for next order will not begin until you tap smiley face).
There is no penalty for not fulfilling an order, BUT, you will not get the Lg prize at end of set of tasks. First order that does not get fulfilled in time, skier will display a red frowny face icon 😡 and when you tap, skier will leave instead of offer next task.

Q. What are the advantages to doing Boat Orders?
A. To me, the Boat Orders are your consistent bread and butter of the game (frequent players).
After each customer's 7th purchase, you get a Present!
Prizes gathered from boat orders include, shovels, saws, storage upgrade items, etc. If you don't have an item required in order and it takes longer to produce than your delete time, get rid of it! Wait time for new orders to regenerate depends on your game Level.
