Tony Fleming never disappoints! He is the best documentary filmmaker ever! Thanks for who you are and what you do.

[@comrade_z]

Agreed! a' Venture, a true gift. It makes a grown man cry if we don't be very careful with our man kind, environment and the creatures abound for profit.

[@AntonKramer]

[@alasdairmackenzie905]

Yet another wonderful film from the master of the art of travel documentaries.

[@michaeljin9043]

A video into like a reading, calm voice navigates beautiful scenery or perilous waters, at times dreamed myself was in it only interrupt by daily chores I had to run....

[@gezimcakerri6886]

Yet another jewel Mr. Fleming. Thank you. I like you serving the crew as a cook. Great.

[@johncoakley445]

Beauty that few in the world have seen. The Gardner Canal is magnificent . The type of place that is keeping the planet alive. It does not get any better! Thank you, a gift to mankind. Incredible job Tony.

[@albert_merchant]

[@terrypbug]

Said that right it's a wonderful break from madness for sure

[@Linda-yq8ew]

Your wonder-filled photos and gentle descriptions blend together smoothly. Thank you for taking note of wildflowers, seedlings, mosses and the unknown bands of colors.

[@reddpatriot2887]

Thank you for another fantastic video!

[@kevinbean4551]

These videos are absolutely beautiful. They put you into a whole Nother world and a different mindset. Incredibly well put together. Music really brings the videos into a very tranquil place.

[@littleal4139]

And so another epic journey comes to an end, thanks so much for sharing.

[@lyndadentry1833]

How many times have i went on Venture! I canot tire of this magnificent vessel! And the AWSOME narrator's calming voice! With all the knowledge added to the most fantastic filming i have ever enjoyed ! I cant thank you enough!!

[@tomrhodes3456]

I really enjoy your videos, Tony. You got such an approach to combining both.. YOUR yacht .. an your ventures .. keep on doing all this, and let us share.. slow food to my soul .. with my very best greetings from Germany ..

[@brendaandres]

This is beyond doubt one of the most beautifully done films I have ever seen I will save this and watch it again and again it is very calming and restorative you sir should be awarded a film award yes I think it is worthy of that I very thoughly enjoyed watching it British Columbia is a beautiful place without doubt thank you for sharing this with all of us

[@vraymond108]

Fabulous adventures. Such wonderful memories from our similar travels to Haida Gwaii, Gwaii Hanas and the many nicks and crannies in between. Thank you.

[@philipjohnson9581]

Absolutely stunning photography of the Pacific Northwest coastline create many of these places I have been to through my life mostly as a child. My folks family use to own a summer home on Orcas Island with is own 50ft deep water pier suitable for vessels up to 80 feet. I spend my summer sailing my 20ft flatty every day around that island. As well as my dad's custom concrete ferite ketch sailer throughout most it no all the areas you highlighted in this video. I.am very happy you made way up the Chandler Inlet. You may want to take a trip up the St. Louisa inlet, travel all the way to the back to Chatterbox Falls. It's qyeity lovely.

[@marybastien2809]

I love , love watching you cruise around on Venture! What a beautiful Yacht and even more amazing is that you share it with all of us. Thank you so very much.

[@imaoregonbum6683]

Thank You, for taking me to places I'd love to see.

[@evelynware1781]

I so enjoy the trips you’ve took me on on Venture and the sound of your voice.Thank you so much;🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@keithdepaul1485]

Me too!☺

[@catherinenicevrynicenjogu4798]

True me too, I feel like iv been sailing his voice woah.

[@stuarth43]

well the voice sure beats hyped up U.S.A. commentary, but the doc is really a sales pitch, although the tour is beautiful and informative, I get tired of the Venture posing in so many scenes. Especially as She is not my type of boat

[@tomeisberg2356]

You, sir, have gained a fan in me. These accounts of your adventures have been one of my favorite discoveries during covid, I feel like we've traveled many miles together. Also, your boats are truly spectacular.

[@tomhoornstra1954]

This is so beautiful and inspiring, especially during these times of walls and restricted travel. Priceless landscapes. Like a Chinese ink wash painting. And the waterfalls! Thanks for all of it.

[@terrypbug]

TY for these what a nice way to get away from the madness going on right now ,this lowers my blood pressure and would love to be on that boat

[@AgentRafa]

Tony Fleming... Is The GOAT. Boat builder and filmmaker. Thank you Sir for sharing these magnificent adventures with us for free, with no annoying ads.

[@chrisstorey7730]

Beautiful scenery and well done I did notice inaccuracies tho

[@anetajohnson8446]

MY father was a photographer, and taught me the basics of good photography. Yours was excelent, with superb naration. Y ou should submit these videows to National Geographic!

[@briand.wallace6078]

Been a marvelous journey and have see the coast and islands that of British Columbia like I never dreamed of seeing from my easy chair here in Lacombe ,Alberta 5 star and great commentary. Be on mostly watching sailing blogs for instance La Vagbond with Riley and Lenning and Mom . A new discovery and unlimited scope of travel on Venture . Truly amazing, sent to my father inlaw who was a commercial fisherman in his prime but now is retired and living on the Island

[@collieri]

I could watch these videos all day.. Wait, I do...

[@joywalsh6012]

Me too! They're so relaxing with such stunning scenery and perfect music every time!

[@randysmiththelubeguy]

You are the best naturalist I have ever experienced. I can't imagine seeing and describing in person what you have seen. It would be impossible. Our lives are but a flash. We are small. An individual only changes things so subtle they would be unobserved or not noticeable. Yet, the direction changes. I love your dream, Venture and all of its symbolism. It represents a man's work. A man's dreams. A man's thoughts, while traveling through life, hoping to pass on knowledge and first hand knowledge of what we have appreciate. Thank you very much Mr. Fleming. Have a wonderful evening.

[@philiphannum4211]

I love this series!! You are going places so beautiful, I can't even begin to fathom it. Well done on the video! Keep them coming.

[@drdesmo8489]

What a wonderful trip on the water. My Canadian happiness came out when the crab boat guys gave you a nice gift 🦀. Thank you for graceful viewing please. Must say sad to see some of the tree cut blocks. We still haven’t learned how Scandinavian’s do it ,Proper !!

[@BELLE_MYMAIL1]

This trip should be on TV, ive spent an entire glued to the TV watching this trip, the narrative was very interesting and amazing to see all this from one boat, thank you so much for all your time you put into this for all of us to see so much of the world from your eyes. Im so glad I found this!

[@pavlosdiamantopoulos9830]

What a wonderful world... Thank you for the great trip.

[@robinowen3058]

Very nice underwater footage!

[@Sushi2735]

Just magical, and you’ve only just begun! Just all greens and water and more water. What ‘s not to love. You seem snug as a bug on the yacht! Definitely wish I was there! ❤️ Such exceptional photography. Crystal clear. Just beautiful!!

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

Intresting and beautifully! Barbro Sweden

[@kermitf9303]

Just a wonderful production. Thank you.

[@laynegoldsmith3873]

Wow!!....beautiful falls everywhere! & beautiful everything..

[@alveydoug]

“Just right” with the “drone footage”. Many enjoy their toys, beyond artistic reason. The human’s eye view, from your shore boats and Venture are preferred, but some shots (the pink striped sunset) would not otherwise be possible. Looking forward to meeting Venture and her crew some day, to thank you for the many miles of pleasure you have shared.

[@mcd5082]

Amazing as always

[@robertmichels8127]

still watchin @ 21:23,, awesome footage of this area,, great stuff Thanks FlemingYachts .....

[@GrumpyAustralian]

It's great to see the travel tribe on Venture in the video!

[@janice8523]

Another amazing adventure!

[@jcline147]

Your photos of the Dehavilland Beavers coming in to get and deliver supplies…fish, etc… Are a wonderful memory of my brother-in-law who bought parts for those float planes for Kenmore Air. He’s no longer with us, but every time I see one of these beautiful float planes …I remember some very fond memories of times he shared with us. Your videos are very inspiring and I enjoy each and every one.

[@squidge73]

Thank you for the videos, this one made me cry so many memories. I lived in BC for most of my life, now retired in AZ. Looking forward to more trips in the future, Fleming yatchs are the best !!!!! Bye for now Regards Malcolm.

[@africanleopard1920]

THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL AND AMAZING TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY I HAVE EVER SEEN!. THANK YOU. - I watch all your Venture Boats trips (Aleutians, Alaska, British Columbia, Europe, Ireland, England, California, Idaho, New York). All videos are properly edited and perfectly presented. All landscapes, scenes, nature, blue sky, grey sky, deep blue sea make me feel so good. I enjoy watching all your videos (on my 72" flat screen TV - SONY) all time, every weekend from my home in Los Angeles. Even though I am not fortunate like you to circumnavigate the globe and travel on own boat, your sea journey and wonderful voyage videos have brought many delights and good feeling to me. We all ordinary people are grateful to you (Gratitude) for your generous and wonderful presentations. Thank you.

[@robertmichels8127]

well , just the best filming and narration ,, this needs to have a award for greatness,, Subscribed,, rung the bell,, and Thanks for the Great stuff ,, :)

[@roydesignedthat]

Loved watching! Thanks!

[@WoodstockG54]

Home in the mid 70s when I was still a teenager. Still go back now and then when I need to find my soul. Always magic.

[@Sushi2735]

Chris is such a wonderful and responsible Captain of Venture. I would feel safe in his care. The water can be treacherous and experienced Captain must allow you to enjoy the view .

[@Yachtnerd]

This video really touched me. It reminded me of the enjoyment I got as a young kid watching The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. I felt like I was taken on an adventure to someplace new and remote that inspired a sense of awe.

[@graceveenema4762]

Thanks so much for taking me “along”. The Creekwalker certainly made an excellent suggestion.

[@patrickoneill6963]

Fantastic video, keep up the exploring...

[@colintraveller]

I guess Venture has been re named .. as was looking on the App couldn't find her but found Venture II in Greece ...I guess the next array of videos will be based on the Med ? Quality Video as always

[@alysondraper3221]

Venture II was another yacht built to European specs and flagged out of Scotland. I think I read that they sold it, though. They still have Venture.

[@FlemingYachts]

The boat only shows up on Marine Traffic if the AIS is switched on. We do not switch ours on unless the boat is underway. We still have Venture ans she is currently in Vancouver Island. No crusing this year.

[@annlouisemcdonnell9311]

I can not tell how much I love your films! Thank you so much.

[@iwoodie]

Extreme high documentation value. Beautiful videos!!! Keep up this good work!

[@larsskomedal]

Thank you for some wonderful films, from a wonderful landscape. Greetings from a boat fan from Norway

[@sharonla8071]

Very sad to see Burnaby Narrows like that. I was there in 1991 and it was completely different. I was on a yacht tour with a naturalist. We went ashore with a zodiac and had to take only a few steps in the water to reach the shore. We walked in each others' steps because every inch of the sea floor was covered with sealife and you could not take a step without killing something. It was stunningly beautiful and the creatures tended to be much bigger than usual. I'm enjoying all your videos. Well done.

[@Liendoelcm]

Thanks for taking me with you on this wonderful journey. Most relaxing and interesting, and to places seldom seen by anyone.

[@patrick35400]

Thanks so much, Mr. Fleming for this perfect sharing, kind regards from Brittany.

[@nuevoleon2711]

Love your travels, trios!!! and your Fleming Boats...!!!!

[@BertYaw]

Thank you Tony for sharing your wonderful video and dialogue that you use to document your travels aboard Venture. Many of us might never see this beauty without your documentaries. You are appreciated for bringing this pristine, gorgeous world with us. Best Regards from this novice traveler.

[@barrypowers7594]

You have a great narrative voice worth listening to. A plus to any documentary you may do.

[@mikeward6194]

What an outstanding adventure. Thanks for sharing

So grateful for your videos. Efforts to film and produce them are appreciated. You're a blessing to your viewers!

Incredible👍 natural beauty no one compete for this beautiful Scenery 🤝 ❄❄🌬

[@terrywilson5389]

As an Aussie I have enjoyed each Film you guys have made Apart from the spectacular scenery the narration that went with it was perfect, not overdone or understated it made for fascinating listening and watching and I rarely left my chair whilst watching the film, I am 71 and disabled, I lost the use of my legs to Sepsis which brought on a heart attack and unfortunately it ceased my roaming and adventures in the “outback” of Australia and our beautiful northern East Coast Islands which is spectacular country too. Well done to you all, sad to hear that Tony has now passed, (my condolences but I enjoyed every film I could get my hands on.

[@FlemingYachts]

I am happy to say that rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated! I am alive and kicking. It was Rex who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.

[@terrywilson5389]

I'll have to get a big screen TV just to watch your videos. My 43 inch doesn't do this justice.

[@lyman135]

I've noticed in the whole series of Venture videos, I've never seen them drive the boat from the fly-bridge, even in nice weather.

[@desertboater9]

Magnificent. One request. Sound of waves, wind and often music (!) covers excellent commentary

So Beautiful
