Old-School Meets High-Tech
EVERY INCH OF THE NEW WHEELER® 38 HAS BEEN REVERSE-ENGINEERED FROM ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS TAKEN FROM THE ACTUAL PILAR. WE INCORPORATED THE HIGHEST STANDARDS, EMPLOYING SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORLD’S FINEST CUSTOM YACHTS.

While she looks like history, the new Wheeler 38 bristles with high technology under her svelte skin. From the incredibly strong cold-molded epoxy hull and deck construction to iPad and iPhone control of most onboard systems, this is an heirloom-quality yacht for the ages.

Modern, quiet clean diesels run the boat efficiently at speeds up to 26 knots.

Air conditioning, autopilot, Seakeeper, generator, refrigeration and the latest touch-screen marine electronics reside out of sight but available in an instant. There is no other yacht of her size available today which combines the famous Wheeler’s timeless elegance with such well-integrated luxuries.
