"Pete Davidson and Colin Jost Transform Staten Island Ferry into Luxury Travel Destination"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Hollywood Reporter
Pete Davidson and Colin Jost's decommissioned Staten Island Ferry, purchased for $280,100, is set for a $34M renovation to become a traveling hotel, restaurant, and bar with multiple bars, restaurants, a furnished patio top deck, 24 hotel rooms, and two clubs. The 1965 boat, named the John F. Kennedy, will be transformed into a floating barge that will travel between locations like New York City and Miami, subject to building codes wherever it docks. The project, which is still in the planning stages, aims to create a unique hospitality-entertainment space while preserving the historic vessel's legacy.
