- Ernest Hemingway's yacht "Pilar" has been painstakingly recreated by the family who built the original for the celebrated American author. Wes Wheeler, grandson of the famous boat's original architect, and his wife Marianne Wheeler took on the project to rebuild this celebrity boat from the ground up, relaunching Wheeler Yachts and sparing no expense to construct "Legend" - a spitting image of Hemingway's well-known vessel. She is complete with modern upgrades seamlessly integrated and hidden beneath her classic downeast wooden boat exterior. Ryan McVinney and Marilyn DeMartini join the couple onboard to learn the whole story behind the boat and how she was built, from learning about Hemingway's fishing days aboard the original, to how Brooklin Boat Yard worked to assemble the vessel in their facility in Maine.

Amazing watercraft and historical background!
Loved seeing that Hemingway's boat has been recreated and given a new life! Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Hemingway is the Granddaddy of deep sea fishing. Tidbit: To keep sharks off his catch, Hemingway used a Thomson submachine gun and/or pistol. The new Pilar is incredible. Including the Seakeeper was smart. Thxs for the video
Pretty darn cool. Visiting Hemingway’s place in Cuba would be a trill. It’s neat that the Cuban government holds him in such high regards as to preserve his home, furnishings, and Pilar.
Hemingway was vehemently anti-fascist and supported communist causes including Castro's revolution. After Castro nationalized US interests on Cuba, the USA gov wanted Hemingway to denounce Castro, but Hem refused.
That boat just oozes character. A reflection no less of a great character who owned the same back in the day!
Amazing recreation of this important, historical vessel, we love Wheeler Yachts and Brooklin Boat Yard and both their classic wooden boats!
Now that's a gorgeous yacht!!
Absolutely Love that black hull!! So dramatic! And offset with the polished mahogany makes it stunning.
Very cool .. you need to make a documentary about this ! 8 minutes is not enough ! Congratulations
Congratulations to Steve White, his fantastic crew at Brooklin Boat Yard and to the Wheelers! History actually lives on!!! Many years ago l had the fortune to sail to Cuba and the second thing was to actually see PILAR! She's in remarkable condition!!
Awesome, and yes agreed Steve White and his crew are doing a fantastic job building wooden boats up there in Brooklin Maine. So great you got to see the original Pilar in person!
Phenomenal! What a good looking fishermen’s yacht.
A Documentary would be Awesome! 8 minutes is certainly not enough!!!!
Simply spectacular well done
Thanks for watching, and we agreed this boat is spectacular!
This gorgeous, I would love to see it first hand... no, I would love to own it!
Agreed, very classy yacht - not only one of the most famous fishing boats of all time, but also an awesome wooden boat to cruise around in style. Check out the builder's newest Wheeler 55 - a bigger but similarly classy version of this boat, that exudes sophistication and exemplifies the same level of craftsmanship!
Is Legend in Maine, or the Carolinas?
Ok now get to work and replicate Earnest Hemingway.
Stunning boat but is there a way to lock it up when you're not onboard?
Good question - yes, it does have some security features. Inquire with Wheeler Yachts for more specifics on that1
What was it powered by?
is this a category B sea worthiness?
We believe so, yes. She runs in open water, and can handle rough seas. Although she was designed more as a coastal cruiser at present, and if you get into really rough stuff, you can likely expect some broken dishes :)
How much?
How many feet is Pilar?
38 feet
This is a boat
The real Pilar was round bilged. This thing is hard chined. That's just for starters.
Well it’s been updated for sure. But constructed by the same family that crafted Hemingway’s boat, and with the original plans in hand, after studying the actual Pilar inch by inch. So it’s pretty legit! We suggest you talk to the builders directly to see how meticulous they were in building this beautiful yacht.
Oh yeah! Isn't that beautiful.
