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. Harley has captured hundreds of millions of views across all social media platforms 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.
Eddie Rodriguez grew up in Puerto Rico, where boating and trips to islands like Icacos, Palomino, Culebra, and St. Thomas were a natural part of life. After college, his passion for the water led him to South Florida to pursue a career in the boating industry. Starting as a mate, he quickly advanced to operating luxury yacht charters, using the experience and intuition he developed from years on the water back home.
Alongside his boating career, Eddie also worked as a functional fitness instructor, where he discovered a genuine passion for teaching and helping people build confidence. That love for instruction, paired with his boating background, aligned perfectly when he joined How To Boating. The role allowed Eddie to merge both skill sets—his knowledge of boating and his ability to teach—into one meaningful career. Today, he focuses on guiding and empowering new boaters, sharing the expertise he’s gained through years of experience on the water.
