Colin Jost and Pete Davidson have made a bold statement by deciding not to sell the Staten Island Ferry they purchased. The duo, known for their comedic genius and love for adventure, are taking their ownership of the iconic ferry to new heights.
During the recent New York City Marathon, spectators were in for a surprise as Pete and Colin’s ferry made an appearance along the route. Painted in a vibrant pink hue with a Nike logo, the ferry served as a motivational symbol for the runners, encouraging them to keep pushing forward.
Despite initial reports of their intention to sell the ferry they acquired four years ago for $280k, sources close to the duo have revealed that they have had a change of heart. Instead, they are focusing on transforming the ferry into a hub of creativity and entertainment.
The recent collaboration with Nike, the upcoming horror movie “Screamboat Willie,” and a Tommy Hilfiger fashion show held on board are just a few examples of the exciting projects in the works. Colin, Pete, and their partner Paul Italia are dedicated to turning their vision for the ferry into a reality.
With each event generating buzz and curiosity among the public, the trio enjoys keeping people guessing about their next move. Pete hinted at “cool stuff” happening with the ferry back in August, indicating that the decision to halt the sale was a well-thought-out plan.
While rumors suggest that Colin and Pete may not be as close as they once were, their shared vision for the ferry remains strong. Although they may not be best friends, their mutual passion for innovation and creativity drives their collaboration.
As the Staten Island Ferry continues to sail the waters of New York, one thing is certain – Colin Jost and Pete Davidson are not just the owners of a ferry, but the kings of Staten Island Ferry. Keep an eye out for the unexpected as you never know what exciting ventures these two comedic masterminds have in store.
