American Water Sports is a true family-run business, rooted in a love for life by the lake. Our story began at The Port of Kimberling Marina, where we saw a need for a friendly, dependable place for people to sell or broker their boats with ease. What started as a simple idea quickly grew into something much bigger—thanks to our community’s support and shared passion for spending time outdoors.
Growing with Our Customers
In 2010, we took a leap forward by introducing Regal Boats as our first new offering. This opened the door to a whole new network of wonderful customers, many of whom are still with us today. Our dedication paid off—by our third year, we were recognized as one of the top 10 Regal dealerships in the world.
A few years later, in 2013, we expanded our lineup with Godfrey Pontoons, including Sweetwater, Aqua Patio, and SanPan models. Godfrey leads the way in quality and innovation, and we proudly focus on their premium options to help families make lasting memories.
Expanding Our Reach
Thanks to our hardworking team and the loyalty of our customers, 2014 brought even more growth. We opened a new showroom in Kimberling City and launched a second location in Shell Knob. With this expansion, we also welcomed MasterCraft—an industry leader known for setting the bar high. In our very first year with MasterCraft, we earned a spot among the top 20 dealers globally, a milestone that speaks to the energy and care we put into everything we do.
Always Improving for You
In 2018, Barletta Boats joined our family of brands. Barletta’s focus on comfort, convenience, and thoughtful design means our customers have access to some of the most feature-rich choices available. They believe what should be standard, is standard—a philosophy we appreciate and share.
The excitement continued in 2022 and 2023, as we upgraded both our Shell Knob and Kimberling City locations to larger, modern spaces with expansive showrooms and full-service centers. These changes help us serve our neighbors across Southwest Missouri even better.
