A Stoned Ferry Purchase: Pete Davidson And Colin Jost's High Seas Adventure - Vanity Fair

Comedians Pete Davidson and Colin Jost have admitted to making a rather unusual online purchase while under the influence – a decommissioned Staten Island ferry boat. The pair, who are both from Staten Island, reportedly paid $280,100 for the vessel as part of a group, Vanity Fair reports.

A Stoned Purchase: Davidson confessed to Entertainment Tonight that the purchase was made while they were “very stoned” and they are still figuring out what to do with the boat. Initially, there was talk of transforming it into a floating entertainment venue.

The Boat’s Condition: The 310-foot boat, named Titanic 2, is reportedly infested with roaches and asbestos. Kevin Hennessey, who captained the ship until it was decommissioned, wished the comedians luck with the project, noting that the engine room caught fire shortly before it was retired.

Where Is It Now? It’s unclear where the ferry is currently docked, but at one point, Davidson could see it from his home. He jokingly took a picture of it, only to find out that it was indeed their purchased vessel.
