JP Mancini quit his corporate job in 2021 and took his boat-chartering side hustle full time. In 2022, through all my rental platforms — Boatsetter, GetMyBoat, and other smaller sites — I earned around $500,000 in revenue. One of Mancini's rental boats. A special-occasion boat rental. Each rental platform takes a cut of the earnings — the fees can be as low as 8.5% or as high as above 25%.

He started a chartering business called SeaEO Nautical Ventures, initially intending to just cover the boat's payments. It's like an Airbnb business: If you start renting a house without the proper permits, you're going to get fined. It takes a lot of talking to people and working with my lawyer to really understand how to be legally compliant. I've actually gotten to the point where I'm really bored. When you really understand sales, you know there's only two reasons people buy things: to fix a problem, or because they love something.
Mylène Garot loved being on the water and wanted to start a boat-rental business in Miami. Garot used her savings to purchase a boat and started renting it on Boatsetter, an Airbnb for boats. I was Googling platforms similar to Airbnb and found Boatsetter, where boat owners can list their boats for people to rent. My husband was a boat captain and managed property — it seemed pretty perfect. The revenue was growing, but a private renter, renting outside Boatsetter, damaged one of the boats in September 2020.
Rick Powell, for instance, rents out his yard as a private dog park on Sniffspot and brings in up to $4,100 per month. About $190,00 of that is income, Mancini said in January. JP Mancini II brings in $38,000 of revenue per month renting his two boats out to strangers. Jim Battan, 58, has made nearly $200,000 renting out his backyard pool. Battan noted that his pool brings in a lot of money because he spent a lot building it out.
Upon listing the 37-foot boat, docked in Key West, Florida, on a rental platform called Boatsetter, he booked 11 trips in a month. Today, Mancini's two boats bring in an average of $38,800 in revenue per month, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. That's off only 30 minutes of work per day, spent managing bookings and making sure the boats' captains — who are hired and paid by individual renters — are maintaining his watercrafts properly, Mancini says. Instead of using the money to pay down the $550,000 in loans he took out to buy the boats, Mancini says he plans to funnel it toward more watercraft purchases and other real estate opportunities. Here's how Mancini used his sales experience to launch his "mostly passive" six-figure boat business, and what waters he plans to charter next.
