ELOISE

Overview

ELOISE is a beautifully maintained example of these sought after Shelter Island Nomads. Designed by Doug Zurn and built by Coecles Harbor Marine in Shelter Island, NY, ELOISE represents the final hull of what was only a six-boat series.  Rarely available on the market, this boat features a single Yanmar diesel with outdrive offering a great turn of speed, excellent fuel economy, and a dry, confident ride in a wide range of sea conditions.  Below, she has a cozy cabin with V-berth, fully enclosed head, and basic galley. She is well equipped and perfectly suited for use as a day boat for exploring coastal nooks and crannies or as a comfortable overnighter.

Broker Remarks

ELOISE was purchased by her current (2nd) owner with only 10 hours in 2021 and has been enjoyed seasonally as a dayboat and runabout in the Newport, RI, and Tampa, FL areas.  ELOISE is also easily stored and transported, thanks to her custom aluminum trailer.  She has been well maintained and cared for and sits ready for immediate use. All photos and videos were taken in September 2025 and accurately reflect her current condition.
