Meet Drew Rollert! He's the founder of Wada Hoppah, an all-electric, wakeless, shallow draft water shuttle and commuter service coming soon to the Charles River (and Watertown Square!). In this conversation we dig into the history of ferries on the Charles, what inspired him to design (an award-winning) modern ferry for the river, all the challenges, thinking, and planning that goes into this kind of thing, and we end with some thoughts on Watertown's water future.

Find out more about Wada Hoppah as Drew plans to get things rolling this summer: wadahoppah.com
