It may be time to abandon ship.<\/p>\n
Pete Davidson and Colin Jost\u2019s notorious Staten Island Ferry project is racking up tens of thousands of dollars<\/a> in monthly docking fees as the craft, dubbed the Titanic 2,<\/a> lingers in a Big Apple harbor.<\/p>\n And the whopping costs are on top of an alleged outstanding $13,500 bill that the pair owes a law firm over the ship.<\/p>\n \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d buddies Pete Davidson (left) and Colin Jost purchased a decommissioned ferry at a city auction in 2022.

James Keivom<\/p>\n \u201cNo response to the lawsuit to date, and we have not received payment,\u201d a rep from the firm told The Post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Post requests for comment from Davidson, Jost and Italia were not returned.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Jost has called his and Davidson\u2019s ferry purchase \u201cabsolutely the dumbest\u201d thing. WWD via Getty Images<\/p>\n The Staten Island-bred Jost and Davidson have joked about their purchase being difficult to keep afloat from the outset.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is why idiots should not be allowed to do things,\u201d Jost said on \u201cLate Night with Seth Meyers\u201d<\/a> in the fall 2022.<\/p>\n \u201cPete and I bought this boat, and like \u2014 there\u2019s so many immediate decisions you have to make,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
