Pete Davidson admitted he and Colin Jost were high as kites when they purchased their Staten Island ferryboat.
“Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry,” the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member told “Entertainment Tonight” Monday at the New York City premiere of his latest movie, “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.”
However, Davidson and Jost’s plans for the vessel — which they and other investors successfully bid on for $280,000 and planned to turn into an event space — have been docked for the foreseeable future.
“I have no idea what’s going on with that thing,” the “King of Staten Island” star, 29, confessed, adding that he and the “Weekend Update” co-host, 40, were “figuring it out.”
Davidson joked about throwing a party on the ferry “if it’s not sunk” before sharing his eagerness that it will float away one day soon.
“Hopefully it turns into a Transformer and gets the f—k out of there so I can stop paying for it,” he told the outlet.
The comedian has clearly had a change of heart, as he was beaming with excitement when he first acquired the decommissioned ferry in January 2022.
“We used to take that ferry to do stand-up all the time,” he said in a video obtained by The Post at the time.
“In a year, it’ll be a comedy club restaurant,” Davidson added.
While the “Bupkis” star bought the boat when he was zooted, the decision may have also come out of love.

His ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian revealed during an April 2022 interview that the then-couple would take romantic ferry rides all over Staten Island.
“It’s always been super low-key every time we go,” she said on “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”
“I feel like that’s the fun part of it,” the “Kardashians” star continued.
“We can just chill and be low-key and ride around and see all the fun hometown stuff. Staten Island has surprisingly been so low-key for us.”
Davidson and Kardashian, 42, dated for nine months before breaking up in August 2022.
