Exploring the Origins of Duckboats Used in Boston Celtics Championship Parade

What’s the tradition of duckboats?
Since 1994, Boston has offered city tours via the duck boats. On the other hand, the custom of using duck coats during championship parades began in 2002. In 2002, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino proposed that the championship teams have a championship parade in duck boats.
The New England Patriots have used duck boats six times, compared to the Celtics' two (2024 and 2008) usage. Duck boats have been utilized by the Boston Red Sox four times and the Boston Bruins twice. The Boston Celtics' duck boats are painted in a variety of colors, which enhances the parade's visual appeal. They transport the players by land and sea throughout Boston. The duck boats were first used in 2002, and twelve different teams have used them since then.
