Colin Jost & Pete Davidson
We’re Kings of Staten Island (Ferry) …
And We’re Not Selling!!!
Published
Colin Jost and Pete Davidson aren’t ready to give up their captain’s hats yet … ’cause we’ve learned the two are no longer looking to sell the Staten Island Ferry they purchased.
Here’s the deal … during the New York City Marathon, Pete and Colin’s ship appeared along the route — painted bright pink with a Nike logo on the side to encourage runners to keep their feet moving during the event.
We’ve checked in on the status of the Staten Island Ferry sale — Pete and Colin have talked repeatedly about wanting to offload the ship they bought nearly four years ago for $280k — and sources with direct knowledge tell us the two have made an about-face … ’cause they’re no longer selling it.
Our sources say Pete and Colin’s vision for the ferry is starting to take shape … pointing out this deal with Nike, the horror movie “Screamboat Willie”, and a recent Tommy Hilfiger show held on board are good signs that this project will work out.
We’re told these events generate a ton of buzz — people are always interested in what they have planned — and the two, along with their partner Paul Italia, love to keep people guessing.
Davidson teased some “cool stuff” was happening with the boat back in August … so, it seems the writing about the canceled sale attempt may have been on the wall for some time.
Worth noting … we also have sources who have told us Colin and Pete aren’t all that close anymore — they’re still on good terms, and they clearly view the future of the ferry the same way, but they were never really besties.
Anyhoo … keep an eye on the waters around New York — ya never know what ship you might see floating on by!
