Fifteen people were sickened during a booze-y boat ride in lower Manhattan Saturday morning, authorities said.

Medics were called to the area of West Street near Spring Street, near Pier 40, around 11:30 a.m., for more than a dozen people who were sickened during a booze cruise gone wrong, police and FDNY spokespersons said. Cops responded to assist with crowd control.

The boat was slated to leave the dock at 9 a.m., but never made it due to the drunkenness of the 150 passengers, a source said.

Of the 15 patients, 11 were in serious, but stable condition and four were taken to area hospitals for further treatment, the spokesman said.
