Comedians Revive Celebrity-Owned Staten Island Ferry with Nike Deal
3 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Jost and Davidson purchased Staten Island Ferry in 2022
- Ferry now features Nike logo and slogan
- Appeared in movie and fashion show, indicating returns on investment
As of November 2025, it appears that comedians Colin Jost and Pete Davidson have had a change of heart regarding their decision to sell the Staten Island Ferry they purchased in 2022. The ferry, which the duo bought at auction for $280,100, was recently spotted during the New York Marathon bearing a Nike logo alongside the words, "NYC won't carry you. It pushes you."
This development suggests that Jost and Davidson are beginning to see a return on their investment. In addition to the Nike campaign, the ferry has also been featured in the movie "Screamboat Willie" and was the site of a Tommy Hilfiger runway show, further indicating its growing popularity and potential profitability.
Earlier this year, Jost had poked fun at their attempts to offload the ferry during a skit on "Saturday Night Live." However, it now appears that the comedians have decided to hold onto their unique asset and explore new opportunities to capitalize on their ownership.
