Wheeler 38, The World’s Most Famous Sportfisherman !

Adopting the nickname of his third wife, Pauline, Pilar was Hernest Hemingway’s custom 38-foot Wheeler Playmate, which the author and Nobel Prize winner shuttled between Key West, Bimini and Cuba as he helped pioneer big-game fishing. Hemingway had many adventures on Pilar: hunting for German U-boats, conducting environmental research for the American Museum of Natural History and shooting himself in the leg while trying to land a shark.

The Wheeler 38 commissioned by the Wheeler Yacht Compagny is a replica of Hemingway’s renowned PILAR, reverse engineered by Bill Prince Yacht Design.
