Davidson revealed that their goal is to dock the ferry from April to September or October in New York City and move it down to Miami for the winter season.
“There’ll be a restaurant, there’ll be a concert venue, there’ll be a movie theater,” he said, adding that there will be a couple of hotel rooms on the boat.
When the late night host gave props to theSaturday Night Livealum for having such fully fleshed out plans for the boat, he joked he had no choice because he’s “in the hole” for the purchase.
“Colin called me and he was like, ‘Hey can you hop on this call about the ferry?’ and I was like ‘We’re still doing that thing?’” he joked.

Though the boat will keep its “Staten Island Ferry” when it opens, Davidson revealed that the ship is legally registered as something else.
“We jokingly named it the Titanic 2 on the LLC when we had to buy it,” he continued. “I can’t take full credit for that.”
The comedian said he and Jost were planning on keeping theferry’s original detailsbut expect to refurbish elements that needed to be repaired.
