Pete Davidson and Colin Jost's NYC ferry project drowns in massive fees
"And the whopping costs are on top of an alleged outstanding $13,500 bill that the pair owes a law firm over the ship. Steve Kalil, president of Caddell Dry Dock & Repair - the Staten Island shipyard that lodges the boat - revealed to The Post that the duo has been shelling out massive monthly rent since April 2022, while their plans for a hip floating entertainment remain mothballed."
"The 277-foot ferryboat, formerly known as The John F. Kennedy, was purchased by the celebs at a city auction for $280,100, and they renamed it the Titanic 2. The comics at the time said they planned to transform it into a $34 million, 1960s-inspired floating event complex complete with two restaurants, a concert hall, six bars and hotel rooms. The Staten Island-bred Jost and Davidson have joked about their purchase being difficult to keep afloat from the onset."
Pete Davidson, Colin Jost and partner Paul Italia purchased a decommissioned 277-foot Staten Island ferry, formerly The John F. Kennedy, at a city auction for $280,100 and renamed it Titanic 2. The group planned a $34 million, 1960s-themed floating event complex with restaurants, a concert hall, bars and hotel rooms. The ferry has sat at Caddell Dry Dock since April 2022, accruing tens of thousands in docking fees that could run at least $10,000 monthly, while the conversion remains mothballed. A downtown law firm claims an unpaid $13,500 bill and has sued for nonpayment.
