Side Hustle of the Day: Man earns $39,000 a month renting boats, working only 30 minutes a day
Meet JP Mancini II, a 32-year-old sales professional who turned his love for luxury into a profitable side hustle. He rents out his two boats, a 37-foot vessel in Key West, Florida and a smaller one in Hampton, Virginia, on rental platforms like Boatsetter and Get My Boat.
With only 30 minutes of work per day spent on managing bookings and ensuring the boats are well-maintained, Mancini brings in an average of $38,800 per month. That's a total of $190,000 over the past year, while still having more free time to pursue other interests.

Getting Started: Listing the Boats on Rental Platforms
Initially, Mancini invested in a single boat, carefully selecting a vessel that would appeal to a wide range of customers. He then researched various boat rental platforms and chose to list his boat on both Boatsetter and Get My Boat, as they offered the best combination of user-friendliness and exposure.
“When I first started, I had no idea it would be this successful. I simply focused on providing the best experience for my customers and making sure my boats were always in top condition,” Mancini shares.
