Excellent video Shelby! We are in double digures with the number of boats we have bought and sold, and have sold every single one one at a profit - INCLUDING all refit & maintenance costs. When flipping anything, you make your money when you BUY, not when you sell, so you have to be able to identify and secure the very best deals out there to succeed. We learned how to do this when we were boat dealers, and that happened because I had a 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' revelation when I compared boat rental rates to houses. I got 2 x $50k unsecured personal loans(!) and in my mid 20's, became the sole importer and distributor for a US boat manufacturer in Italy. I didn't yet speak Italian. Had never seen the boats in question (just online). Had never set foot on a sailboat in my life. Had no business experience, or family with business experience. By God's grace, everything fell into place and this summer my wife, 6 year old "Britalian" daughter and I are taking our sailboat through the inland waterways from Belgium down to the Mediterranean. 🙏 If anyone is still reading this, buy and devour Rich Dad Poor Dad and reach out if you ever need help buying a boat. Chris 👍

I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second boat already which is on rental, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring! I love this..

It’s a great idea and also great idea to live on a boat. Just remember, maintenance is very important! I know a lot of people living on boats and that is one area people forget about. Great job on this video!

Good video ! I’ve owned 7 boats. 1st Rule - Don’t EVER buy a Wooden Boat ! Lol 😂. Tip for You if u buy a Boat to Keep it Nice & lower Maint. Cost to almost nothing. Keep it on a Hydrohoist !!! It Keeps the Boat out of the Water & Reduces Maint Cost by 90%. 1) No Bottom painting required. 2) No bottom cleaning 3) No corrosion of Drive gear - prop etc. 4) No zinc replacements. 5) Reduces corrosion by 90% Worth its weight in Gold !!!

Great video - and I love how much you go into the economics of it. For me though, besides someone accidentally damaging the boat, which is a risk that exists with house rentals, etc. I think I'd be too worried about someone outright stealing the boat since you're literally giving them the keys.

Ms. Shelby Church is not only very well spoke, she is well versed in her desires for boating. Oh, that, and she is gorgeous. Thank you and please continue sharing this connection with me. Best, Steve

I am a yacht broker in florida and yes boats are not a good investment - depreciating liability is about right haha but most people who buy boats know that and have the money to sustain it. Renting it out is a great way to break even or even make some extra money if you are wanting a boat but don’t want to have a sunk cost!

This was really cool to watch, my husband used to be a yacht broker and had a small sail boat so we were around them a lot! But it’s been a couple years.

The risk of people damaging your boat will be astronomically higher than your car. People are going to be significantly better at driving someone else's car than their boat. I guess it would depend on the body of water as well. Being there for docking will somewhat lessen the risk.

Having a boat is a lot of work! I work on and off in the charter business and people don’t realize how much upkeep they need. Every time we go out, we have to wash the boat and the gear due to the salt water

I don't live in the US, so do not have access to this service, neither do I care about boats much but really appreciate the effort tou put on creating valuable and original content 👏 👏 👏

Since most of the homes here in the Cayman Islands have sea front views, we don't really pay for storage and instead park our boats on the docks in our backyard.

I think you have to take into consideration that most owners also do private charters that are brought by brokers which they can make more private then on boatsetter so don’t let numbers make you think they don’t get bookings. Also like you said, no much demand in your area, where I live in Miami everyyy boat is always out year around

I feel like this is so much work for the average person - as she said you have to do every check-in in person, with signing liability forms and explaining where/how to use certain aspects of the boat. To do that 50 times per summer - even 20 times per summer - is asking a lot. A lot of people with standard 9-5 jobs just wouldn't have the ability to be leaving work, and for someone like you who has more of a flexible schedule, it could eat into profit from other endeavors (less time to make videos, work on Joshua tree house, etc.)

I really enjoyed this video. I can "see" the work you put into the production. Though I am not really a water person, even I am thinking about buying a boat. Thanks Shelby.

Thank you Shelby for looking out for your subscribers and trying to help them out

Shelby I wanted to congratulate you because you improved in your videos. I followed you for a couple of years. I like your channel because i practice my hearing skills with your videos. I am from Mexico and English is my second language. Have a nice day Shelby,.

Lake Union has lots of other boaters, paddle boarders, and planes taking off and landing. I can't imagine it'll be very long until Turo for boats goes very wrong in a place like that.

What I hear is that if you cannot do this, but you are a responsible and willing to learn boating, you can be a great boat manager. I'm from Ft Lauderdale and I think this business can be great if the pay is good per rental for a manager. The more boats you help make profitable as a manager the better.

Boats boats boats - HIMYM!

So get a boat at Myrtle Beach or Miami and Airbnb make 50K in a month got it

Totally love your vlogs and most of your main channel content! I do wish you’d start looking at some things outside of an ROI model though. We often times buy things to simply enjoy. ROI isn’t important at all for boats and things like sports cars or luxury cars. These are inherently emotional purchases. And that is totally okay! Not everything has to be an investment.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the cost of gas to run the boat. Do the people renting the boat pay for it? Just curious, because that is a major expense that I feel should be factored in. I also have to say that if you live in a warmer climate where you can rent out the boat all year long, you will make much more money.

Nice one! Seattle is so beautiful in the spring summer, and fall. The rest of the time we should all live in Palm Springs! I wonder what features would help make one's boat stand out above all the others to help mitigate the saturation factor? But have you done a video or perhaps thought of doing one on Air Bnbing ones 30', 40', 5o' footer? I've seen a few people doing that kind of thing on Craigslist. No cruising, just a cool place to stay? Maybe you have, maybe not your focus though. I'll look.

Where you got the chair from you're using while making the video? Link please?

Seems like the newer the boat, the more rentals as well. Like she said, the boat was not getting as much rentals the second year. That is where it starts to get iffy, as the boat ages, more maintenance will be needs, but each year the booking go down as people want the newest.

It's an interesting idea, I would not be comfortable renting our boat to complete strangers. However if we were to buy a boat with renting it out in mind we would pick something fairly basic not very large under 20ft. In the puget sound the waterways can be difficult to a novice or beginner boater. I would enjoy renting a boat from time to time. It's interesting for sure.

This sounds like a hit or miss investment. I'm guessing it depends on the season on ho well you do.

hope you don't hate me for saying but you looked super cute in that red dress and captains hat. I like videos like this. It's kind of your niche. Keep doing this stuff.

You are the kind of content creator that k don’t skip one minute of her video .

Are you a journalist? I ❤ your content, the way you made it and the way you deliver it, I felt like I watched CNBC documentary. Thank you for creating this! Sending ❤ all the way from Philippines...🙂

The mediterranean has a lot of yacht charter, it's fairly expensive say starting at 3000 per day but it's a proper modern yacht with crew, say 60 foot long. I looked at yacht charter in LA a couple of years ago and I was appalled at how poor the standard of boats were. Maybe I didn't look all the places but instead of a proper yacht it was a 1995 boat that looked like nick nolte died on it yet still 2 grand for a day and only daytime, not 24 hours. Zero luxury experience in it. Maybe LA isn't well suited for yachting but I'd have to think there would be some demand for say 3 day luxury trip to catalina. Maybe up by malibu, then live around catalina and end by san diego marina and return. But it was tragic state of affairs in LA. And interestingly popular mainstream yacht models don't depreciate in value. Almost at all. Just new models rise rapidly in a kind of inflation so the aging boat holds new price. Entry proper yacht might be 1 million dollars. 2 crew maybe 230k a year. So the crew is by far the biggest expense. And all charter in europe insists on crew which I found annoying. There is a loss of privacy with 2 strangers 24/7 on a small boat with you and it 5x'es the price. So there might be a lucrative business in charter without crew for people who have taken a boating course. A million dollar yacht is similar price to a house yet they are chartered at say 3000 per day. Starlink recently launched for boat use I believe so there is internet everywhere.

What ever floats your boat

I LOVE BOATS OMG

did not know this was a thing!

Considering the competency of the average driver, throw water and ineptitude plus the possible idiot factor into the equation and I’m not quite sure letting people out on a boat unsupervised is going to last too long before 😬

Cool video, Lindsay should have taken the sunglasses off.

The current property I have is actually a rental going to be doing more research and looking at getting a second property that I can rent to own for about 6 months and pull some equity from it to get into a couple more properties

Shelby you are doing excellent ♥♥

I love these Seattle/Washington videos! This interview was really interesting 💓💓makes me want to go out on a boat soon 😂

38k sounds like an euphemism when you then add the "plus tax" in the end. Why not show the actual price paid?

Excellent work on this video!! Always interesting to see the content you come up with!

I always love your content and i find your videos so informative and interesting but please balance the audio throughout the video. you & your interviewees are always mic'd up and i really appreciate the effort (because a lot of youtubers just use mics off their cameras) but it can be hard to watch when i have to constantly adjust the audio on my tv.

Can't help wondering about the running woman in the background at 6:34 and what she does at 6:41.

Thank you for creating such amazing content . I like your videos more than watching television.

There's no way I'd get involved in this. I lived at a marina with pontoon rentals and witnessed how it goes with feedback from the marina owner. A majority of the renters you'll attract are 100% idiots who have literally never used a boat and wreck the prop, destroy the dock, beach them constantly...etc etc. This isn't touching on when alcohol gets involved which ramps everything thing up more. People will try to cram 20 people on a 8 person boat...then you find out that most of them can't swim. Too many risks, too much liability, and not nearly enough reliable profit.

What an interesting concept. Thanks for making a video about it. It’s so tempting! Now I’m looking at boats for sale too

Great video, Shelby!

Those lower rented boats could also not be an income stream for them. They might actually use their boat more for their own recreation.

You quit Air BnB! Never mind my previous inquiry about that!:->

Where is you puffer from? Loved this video and gave their insta a follow!

I have a 17 foot fishing boat. aluminum with 3 seats and a steering wheel. a 50cc engine. you can put up to a 200hp motor on back. a fishing boat with the trailer. I bout it used a year ago for only $2500.

Serious about doing this in Florida. I live on a large chain of lakes and could solve the storage by docking on my property.

You have such amazing establishing shots. Do you storyboard your shots?

Such a high quality viewing experience. Ty Shelby.

What’s the name of the website of these listings

not a good plan it seems but might be a good option for someone who already owns a nice boat to offset the costs.

Flipping boats is in right now too.

You should move to Florida and help me run an Airbnb boat and rental business

They might be making some profits now but wait till they need to get the motor replaced. gas motors only go for 1000 hrs before major overhaul. not to mention oil change every 100 hrs. If you can't do it yourself, labor rate is up to $150/hr in the marine industry. A new Yamaha 90 outboard is $11k plus installation. I don't think people can make money renting boats out. it would be ok as a side income to offset some of your own boating expenses.

Love seeing how others take their life and turn it into income. We have a very unique side hustle that pays for the entire year of food and up keep for all our our animals/pets on our hobby farm. We make zero money from our animals. 😊

Great video

Hey does anyone know any good boat managers?!? I got a boat ⚓

Shelby gonna do a video soon on some random app-based service that allows you to rent out your $400 sleep tracker on the weekends 😆

Love this channel!! Thank you. 💯✨😍

Fuel?

Love the Seattle content 💗💗💗

Such an interesting concept, thanks for doing the research and sharing it Shelby!

Always educated us thank you Shelby!

Really interesting. Thanks for the video.

From 5:08 to 5:30, your voice sounds a bit distorted. I think it might be your audio level is over peaked on your microphone or in post. Sounds like your shouting a bit.

When is Part 2 coming out? :)

Gonna make my own lake, fck it

Dang that’s like Airbnb for boats

Rental market needs to go bust, sorry to say it but someone had to. People need to stop renting because it's the same as setting it on fire.

Love all of your videos!! ❤️ ❤️ You can tell you put so much care and effort into them, so thank you!

Ouuu Shelby with the dresses🌟🏆

I don't think she's going to actually do I'm in real estate specifically room rental it's okay bring in about 6k a month and that's just with one house of course since I pay all the bills that brings me down to about $3,500 profit every month

Interesting..🔥🔥🔥🔥

Renting a boat would be a great idea to view the harbour.

Wait for it. Shelby will buy a dozen boats and start a huge boating business.

Hey Shelby can you talk about online tech courses. Okay? Are they worth it

Are there any other channels like Shelby's as good quality? This is the only channel like this I watch

Cold test 11

Tall pumpkin 05

A mix of power and sail?

Thank you for sharing this video my friend 😍🤩😍

I love how you feature women in your videos.

The 27 people who disliked the video probably expected you to ride a boat😅

Very super

Great video! This was super interesting. I’ve never heard of boat setter!! Seems like a cool site! Definitely going to check it out!

Great video.

Omg, seriously just love your content. Also...I would never have thought of boats in general and now you got me thinking about each boat I see. Lol

Do you still want a boat I am selling mine. In 15000 dls it is a 29 foot Carver Yatch

A boat is a hole in the ocean people pour money into…

Great video idea! Loved this

BANK ON ANOTHER $1000

I’ve considered this and what’s interesting is BoatSetter” is owned by GEICO who also has a boat insurance division. So seems insurance concern should be better than other boat sharing sites. Anybody have experience with a claim from boatsetter?

maybe i missed it, but was the fuel costs even considered? the owner said she was breaking even so I'm sure she has the numbers crunched, but i don't think it was apparent in the video. When breaking down the expenses keeping them all on screen next time would be nice.
