Angel Rodriguez\u2019s journey is all about guts, hustle, and turning challenges into millions. His yacht rental side hustle, launched in 2023, is now a booming business that\u2019s setting sail for even bigger things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angel Rodriguez\u2019s Big Pivot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Angel\u2019s first business <\/a>was a jet ski rental company, Xperience Miami. But he didn’t throw in the towel when new regulations forced him to close shop. Instead, he took a risk. He bought his first yacht with only a small amount of credit left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Angel Rodriguez Set His Course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Angel found Boatsetter, a peer-to-peer boat rental platform, and saw an untapped opportunity<\/a>. While others treated Boatsetter as a backup, Angel went full throttle, building his entire business model around the platform. This smart strategy helped him stand out in a crowded industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges? Call Him Crazy, He Didn\u2019t Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Breaking into Miami\u2019s boat rental scene wasn\u2019t smooth sailing. Many boat operators thought Angel was reckless for relying solely on Boatsetter. But he trusted his gut, and within three months, his business was bringing in $20,000 a month. By the end of the year, that number soared to $30,000 monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smooth Sailing: $3 Million in Revenue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today, Angel owns six yachts, partners on two more, and has generated over $3 million in sales. Every yacht he financed is fully paid off, and his fleet is now worth more than $4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angel\u2019s Favorite Part<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Angel, it\u2019s all about the people. He loves creating unforgettable experiences for travelers living out their Miami yacht dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angel\u2019s Success Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wanna know Angel\u2019s advice? Build a solid team and trust yourself. His business thrived thanks to his team, and Boatsetter\u2019s platform gave him the tools to grow. And for Angel, his greatest motivation will always be his kids, Angelina and Alexander.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
