Iceberg ahead! The Staten Island ferry that Saturday Night Live funnymen Colin Jost and Pete Davidson bought in 2022 is sinking financially \u2014 and they didn\u2019t see it coming.<\/p>\n

The comics plunked down $280,100 at a city auction to purchase the 277-foot ferry \u2014 which they aptly dubbed Titanic 2 \u2014 with the idea to create a floating entertainment venue, but so far the craft is not in operation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just reportedly sitting at a New York shipyard racking up tens of thousands of dollars in monthly docking fees.<\/p>\n

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, \u201cThis is why idiots should not be allowed to do things. Pete and I bought this boat and we\u2019re like \u2014 there are so many immediate decisions you have to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colin later told People<\/a> that buying the ferry was \u201cabsolutely the dumbest and least thought-through purchase I\u2019ve ever made in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
