The Best Seat in the House for EAA AirVenture? It’s on the Water.
Skip the crowds and watch the airshow from the best vantage point in Oshkosh—aboard a private boat cruise on the Fox River or Lake Winnebago.
EAA AirVenture is one of the biggest aviation events in the world, and if you’ve ever been to Oshkosh in late July, you know how the city transforms. The sky fills with everything from vintage warbirds to cutting-edge aerobatic planes, and the streets? Packed with aviation lovers from around the globe. It’s incredible—but let’s be honest, it can also be overwhelming.
Now, imagine watching the show without the traffic, the packed flightline, or the long walks in the heat. Imagine sitting back on a comfortable boat, drink in hand, with a cool breeze off the water and an unobstructed view of the sky.
That’s exactly what you get with a private cruise from Lakeside Cruise Company during AirVenture.
Why Watching the Airshow from the Water is a Game-Changer
1. The View is Spectacular
Sure, the grandstands are great, but nothing beats seeing those planes twist, turn, and dive right above the open water. You get a full sky view, with no tall structures blocking your line of sight—just the blue sky and jaw-dropping stunts.
2. No Traffic, No Hassle
If you’ve ever tried to leave the airshow when thousands of other people are doing the same thing… well, you know. It’s a test of patience.
With a boat cruise, you skip all of that. You board your private boat, cruise out to a prime viewing spot, and enjoy the show stress-free.
3. The Comfort Factor is Real
Instead of standing in the sun for hours or sitting on a blanket in the grass, you’re relaxing on a boat, with plenty of space, shade, and the option to bring your own food and drinks. It’s VIP treatment without the VIP price tag.
4. It’s an Experience, Not Just a Show
AirVenture is about more than just watching planes—it’s about soaking in the atmosphere, making memories, and doing something unforgettable. Watching the airshow from the water? That’s bucket-list-level stuff.
