Ferry company raffling off boat service to Celtics parade

A Watertown-based ferry company is holding a raffle for two lucky winners to get a traffic-free round trip to Back Bay for Friday’s Celtics parade. 

WadaHoppah is a private company that plans to launch an electric ferry service on the Charles River “as soon as possible,” according to its website. To showcase what its service will be like, it’s offering free tickets to two winners for a round trip from Watertown to Back Bay to see the Celtics championship parade.

Though the trip won’t be fully electric — the company is still working on finishing its boats and complying with regulations — it will help avoid any possible “parade traffic headache[s],” the company said.

“We want to give people in the area a chance to experience what Boston is like without traffic, parking struggles and crowded train cars when our electric shuttle are ready late this summer or early fall,” WadaHoppah founder Drew Rollert said in a statement to Boston.com.

Rollert said the company will be making two trips with two people each, so each winner can decide on a plus one.

To enter, WadaHoppah is asking people to follow them on Instagram and register for the raffle on their website. The deadline to enter is Thursday at 8 p.m.
