Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: Boating should be fun and hassle-free. Your relationship with us is no exception...as your dealer, we'll do everything possible to make your boating experience the best it can be, and to maximize your enjoyment while on the water. This means offering boats manufactured by the clear leaders in boat design, innovation and technology. We take pride in the long-term value and quality of the boats we sell, and when needed provide service with customer satisfaction as the top priority.

Our original location, Riverview Marine, opened in Spring Valley, Illinois in 1992, and had been recognized as the Midwest's preferred dealer serving all types of boaters over the years - from fishermen to high-performance enthusiasts.   In 2009 we relocated to Ottawa from Spring Valley, upgraded to a larger facility, and developed a strategic alliance with Heritage Harbor Marina. At that time we adopted a new name as well - Quest Watersports - to reflect our evolution to an expanded set of products & services. Quest offers upscale vessels to discerning recreational boaters, along with a complete set of boating-related services. Quest is conveniently located just down the road from Heritage Harbor Ottawa, the most exciting marina resort community in the Midwest.

2011 brought continued evolution, as Quest Watersports launched Quest Express Boat Club, which allows unlimited access to a fleet of club boats on an annual membership basis - and eliminates the need for members to purchase, maintain, transport, store & insure their own boat.  Quest also expanded into the paddlesports market in 2011, with the introduction of Hobie Kayaks, featuring the MirageDrive pedaling system - taking you further, faster...with a huge emphasis on fun! 

Keep an eye on Quest in 2012 as we bring you even more ways to have fun on the water!  Ready for that special boat you've always dreamed of? Quest Watersports can make your dream a reality…
