Bart’s Water Sports, founded in 1972 and based in North Webster, IN, will be offered for sale at auction on September 5, 2023.

Schrader Real Estate and Auction Company will auction the business, inventory, and real estate. The owner will reportedly entertain non-contingent offers made by August 4.

“Bart Culver founded Bart’s Water Sports in an old farmhouse in North Webster. Since then, it has grown to 44 acres and a 42,000-square-foot building that includes a warehouse, office and retail space,” said R.D. Schrader, president of the auction company.

“Bart’s is a leading e-commerce water sports retailer with a spacious brick-and-mortar retail operation based in north central Indiana. They offer equipment for a wide range of activities, including wakeboarding, water skiing, tubing, floats, paddle sports, flotation devices, boating essentials, apparel, and wetsuits,” said Schrader. “The inventory is vast and diverse. We’re excited to offer a unique opportunity for a buyer to continue the legacy of a well-established heritage brand.”

Schrader personnel will be available at the property on August 10 and 28 and September 5 to accommodate inspections and provide detailed information.
