About Us
Serving Bismarck, Mandan, and the entire Missouri River region since 1998.
Who We Are
River City Sports is North Dakota's marine dealer of choice, proudly representing Sylvan, South Bay, Dockside, AXIS Wake Research, Malibu, Starcraft Deck Boats, Vexus, Skeeter, Crestliner, WILCRAFT, and Ice Castle. We carry the boat, pontoon, fishing boat, wake boat, or ice house to match how you actually use the water and the ice.
We are also proud to operate Misty Waters Marina and our in house River City Fiberglass and Aluminum Repair department, giving Bismarck boat owners a true one stop relationship for sales, storage, service, and repair, all under one roof.

Your Boat Your Walkthrough
Every boat we sell is water tested twice before it reaches your driveway, and we walk you through every feature on the water rather than in a parking lot.

- Support Beyond DeliveryKnow exactly who to contact when questions come up along the way.
Warranty Service That Does Not Make You Wait
At most dealerships, warranty work gets queued behind everything else, and a two, four, or even six week wait is not unusual. River City Sports takes a different approach with a dedicated warranty technician who has more than thirty five years of experience, available exclusively for our customers' warranty needs.
Notify us by Monday, and in most cases you are back on the water by Friday.

Full Time Marine Service Not A Side Business
Our service department works on boats, period. We do not service powersports, ATVs, or side by sides. That focus means our technicians spend every hour of every day mastering marine engines, drivetrains, and rigging instead of splitting attention across unrelated equipment.
10+ Consecutive Years
Mercury Marine Service CSI Award winner for more than ten consecutive years, the only dealership in North Dakota to hold that streak.
Factory Certified
Factory certified technicians across every major engine brand we carry.
Experience That Leads
The most experienced, most credentialed marine service team in the state.
River City Fiberglass And Aluminum Repair
Hull damage, gelcoat repair, transom work, and aluminum welding. Our dedicated River City Fiberglass and Aluminum Repair department handles it all in house, so storm damage, trailer mishaps, or years of wear do not mean shipping your boat out of state.

Misty Waters Marina
As the operators of Misty Waters Marina, we extend the River City Sports experience beyond the showroom, giving our customers a home base on the water for slip storage, seasonal service access, and a marina community built around the same boats we sell.
