Things have gone from bad to worse between the pair, following their ferry purchase.

Now Colin's wife, Scarlett Johansson, has asked fans to help get the business up and running.

Speaking on Live with Kelly and Mark, the Hollywood star said: "[Colin] bought the Staten Island Ferry - a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry.

"It is still decommissioned. I was like 'okay what is happening with this boat?'

"You have to start paying for its own docking fees at least!"

Going on, the actress said, "This year they had the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show on the Staten Island Ferry.

"I was like, 'fashion people are coming on the Staten Island Ferry? What is happening with the bathrooms? Surly you renovated the bathrooms?'

"He was like… 'No I don't actually know how the bathrooms…'

"It’s like being in elementary school."

Appealing to fans, she joked, "It was a huge success. If anyone has a bat mitzvah they need to throw.

"Go to rent a ferry dot com. You'll really make our family happy."

The FALL OUT

The U.S. Sun recently revealed how Colin refuses to even be at 30 Rock, where Saturday Night Live is taped if Pete is there.

The insider said that Colin "can't be in the same building, let alone be in the same room as Pete", after "something big" allegedly happened.

The insider said that "Colin doesn't want to be associated with Pete."

But earlier this month, Pete appeared in a skit with the episode's host and his longtime pal, John Mulaney, among other cast members.

At the very end of the show, during the iconic SNL close, all the comedians, musical guest Chappell Roan and host John gathered on stage.

At that moment, Pete and Colin interacted for what seemed like the first time in a while.

The two, standing on opposite sides of the stage, moved toward each other immediately after John made a joke while thanking Pete for his cameo.

They shook hands and parted ways before coming back together again to chat briefly.

A rep for the show denied this claim to The U.S. Sun.

Pete was on the show from 2014 to 2022 and was invited back as a host in 2023.

The two met a decade ago when Pete joined the SNL cast and the pair formed a bond over their Staten Island roots.

Things, however, have taken a turn with the insider claiming that "Colin doesn't want to be associated with Pete."

FEUDING FRIENDS

While it's unclear exactly how the rift might be impacting the business, the vessel finally saw its first official use when Tommy Hilfiger hosted their New York Fashion Week show aboard it.

While Pete was not in attendance for the ship's maiden fete, it was Colin however who appeared at the NYFW show on September 8.

Despite the feud, a source close to the ferry deal said that everything has remained afloat and that the vision for the ship has not sunk, despite an alleged rift.

An insider close to the ferry business venture downplayed rumors of a rift.

"They're both very busy, and don't talk as much as they used to," they said, adding that people simply move on.

Despite the claims of a comedian clash, the business insider said that the idea for a proposed restructuring from a decommissioned ferry to an entertainment venue remains afloat.

"Where it ends up all depends on what kind of deal they can get with the City of New York," adding that since the partners are all from the city, they hope to keep the business there.

Meanwhile, the insider close to the business added that they are in the process of raising money for projects, but would not elaborate further.

DARK NAME

Last month, The U.S. Sun exclusively learned how Colin and Pete officially named their troubled ferry company Titanic 2, after the most infamous maritime disaster in American history.

The official document, which was filed on January 24, 2022, five days after they won it in an auction, lays out the basics of the business for which the decommissioned Staten Island Ferry was purchased.

Officially incorporated as Titanic 2 LLC, the company is based in New York, and the document lists accounting firm Weygandt, Nesarajah & Company as the LLC's agent for which any process against Colin and Pete's company may be served.

The document also clarifies that "one or more members" of Titanic 2 can manage the company.

They are in partnership with comedy club owner Paul Italia and architect Ron Castellano, with the boat being reimagined as an entertainment venue, and possibly as a floating hotel.
