The Jesse Carll was a 19th-century pilot boat, built in 1885 by Jesse Carll at Northport, New York, for George H. Sisco. She was one of the largest vessels ever built in the Sandy Hook service. She was named in honor of Jesse Carll, a well-known Northport shipbuilder. In 1896, in the age of steam, the Ezra Nye, along with other pilot boats, were replaced with steamboats.

In the summer of 1888, author and New York newspaper editor Charles Edward Russell talked about being on the pilot boat Edward F. Williams and racing with the pilot boat Jesse Carll, No. 10. When they saw a steam liner that needed a pilot, they raced to see which pilot boat could reach her first. The pilots from both boats took yawls and rowed them to the steamer to reach the steamer's ladder. As both yawls came to the ladder, pilot Moller from the Williams went up the side of the steamer first to salute the captain.

In 1889, Gideon L. Mapes was in charge of the pilot boat Jesse Carll, No. 10 when it was off Fire Island and got stuck on a sandbar at Zach's Inlet during a thunderstorm. Mapes and the ten men on board were taken ashore in life-saving boats. The Jesse Carll was later raised and repaired.{{rp|p27}}

On 1 February 1896, the New York Pilots discarded sixteen sailboats and moved them to the Erie Basin in Brooklyn. They were replaced with steam pilot boats. The Jesse Carll was sold for $5,500.{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/542415723/?terms=%22Ezra%22BNye%22|title=Not Up To Date.
