Captain Harley is the owner of How To Boating. In January 2024 he had a vision to teach people boating tips and how-to’s on social media. His time spent working on sailboats, government research vessels, fishing/crabbing vessels, SCUBA diving vessels, and high-end luxury yacht charters has given him the opportunity to learn how different vessels are run as crew and as a captain. This experience, paired with a background in leadership roles, allows Harley to effectively capture attention through his unique teaching style both on social media, and hands-on instruction. In just over a year, Harley has captured 100 million views across all social media channels by teaching boating safety, how to dock boats, boating rules, and much more. His goal is to share that knowledge to everyone who wants to learn the ‘how-to’s’ of the industry.
