The fishing boat sits crumpled against an approach-light pier at La Guardia on Sunday.
The kinky captain who drunkenly crashed his love boat while engaged in a three-way sex romp over the weekend won’t be taking pleasure cruises any time soon — and he’s grounded on land, too.
Craig Gallo, 51, sporting a massive bandage on his forehead and wearing baggy red hospital scrubs, whined when he learned in Queens Criminal Court that both his boating and motor vehicle licenses would be revoked for allegedly operating his fishing vessel while drunk.
“The officer told me it was just going to be my boat license,” he sniffed in court.
“No — both,” Judge Gia Morris sternly replied.
The portly Andover, NJ, man was busy messing around with a pal and a woman they’d just met when his 28-foot Wellcraft boat crashed early Sunday into runway approach lights at La Guardia Airport, sources told The Post.
Gallo later admitted to cops that he’d been drinking and was involved in a boating accident, prosecutors said.
“I was driving, I had a few beers,” Gallo told cops, who noticed he reeked of booze. Gallo, who was arrested in 1999 for urinating in public, refused a Breathalyzer test.
The judge also ordered Gallo to undergo an alcohol and drug abuse assessment.
The boat captain and friend James Benenato, 60, were boozing it up from 9 pm to 11:30 pm at a tiki party at the Arrow Yacht Club in College Point, when they picked up Mary Ann Belson, sources said. Gallo docks his 1981 fishing boat at Skyline Marina next door.
The crash happened at 11:47 pm, cops said.
