Pete Davidson recently shared an update on his exciting plans to transform the old Staten Island Ferry, which he purchased with fellow comedian Colin Jost, into a unique floating nightspot. However, eager fans will have to exercise patience, as the project is estimated to be about five years away from completion. Despite currently being “in the hole” financially due to the $280,000 purchase, Davidson believes this is all the more reason to persevere with their ambitious vision.
During an appearance on Seth Meyers’ “Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers” podcast, Davidson revealed that he had seen detailed computer mock-ups of the ferry’s interior. These plans showcase a range of exciting features, including a restaurant, concert venue, movie theater, and hotel accommodations. The interior will undergo significant renovations to remove the previous bench-style seating, while the exterior will be largely preserved in order to maintain the iconic orange appearance of the vessel.
To give the floating nightspot mobility and maximize its potential, Davidson and Jost plan to dock the ferry in New York from April through September or October, then relocate it to Miami for the winter months. This “snowbird” arrangement aligns with their desires to cater to both New Yorkers and Miami residents.
These detailed updates represent a significant shift in Davidson’s initial perspective on the project. At the premiere of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” earlier this month, he admitted to being uncertain about the status of the ferry, jokingly questioning whether it had sunk or was still afloat. However, Davidson’s recent remarks demonstrate that he and Jost are fully committed to making their ferry-turned-venue a reality.
The project holds symbolic importance for both comedians, as they were born and raised on Staten Island. Despite facing financial challenges, Davidson and Jost are determined to prove skeptics wrong and create a unique entertainment destination that will attract visitors from far and wide.
It is worth noting that this exciting news about the ferry comes at the same time as reports of Davidson seeking treatment for borderline personality disorder and PTSD at a rehab facility in Pennsylvania. This highlights the comedian’s ongoing commitment to his mental health and well-being, showcasing his determination to overcome personal challenges as he embarks on this ambitious venture.
