Iceberg ahead! The Staten Island ferry that Saturday Night Live funnymen Colin Jost and Pete Davidson bought in 2022 is sinking financially — and they didn’t see it coming.
The comics plunked down $280,100 at a city auction to purchase the 277-foot ferry — which they aptly dubbed Titanic 2 — with the idea to create a floating entertainment venue, but so far the craft is not in operation.
It’s just reportedly sitting at a New York shipyard racking up tens of thousands of dollars in monthly docking fees.

At least Colin, 43, and Pete, 32, are keeping their sense of humor as their ferry fiasco slowly sinks in a sea of red ink. During a guest spot on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Colin joked, “This is why idiots should not be allowed to do things. Pete and I bought this boat and we’re like — there are so many immediate decisions you have to make.”

Colin later told People that buying the ferry was “absolutely the dumbest and least thought-through purchase I’ve ever made in my life.”
