Case Study: Carefree Boat Club boosts revenue 28% and streamlines payments with PaySimple

Carefree Boat Club Owners Enjoy Smooth Sailing With PaySimple

Carefree Boat Club owners Laurel and Perry Bower operate two locations in Cape Coral and Fort Myers, Florida, offering members access to a shared fleet while the club handles maintenance and fees. After taking over the Southwest Florida clubs, they struggled with managing multiple payment types (credit card, cash, ACH), one‑time fuel charges and recurring membership dues while Laurel juggled bookkeeping and payment acceptance.

They continued using the inherited PaySimple platform and worked with a dedicated Customer Success Manager, Synthia, who trained them on POS, ACH, recurring billing and custom reports and helped tailor the system to their needs. The customizable, supported solution streamlined invoicing and reporting, ensured reliable payment collection, and helped increase Southwest Florida revenue by 28%, enabling plans for further growth.
