A Single Step

During this time of Sheltering at Home, I decided to produce a series of videos portraying the story of Venture and her voyages from the time of her conception - The Single Step. Much of the footage has been posted before but I hope that presenting it in this new context will make it fresh and introduce it to new viewers.

[@rd9028]

The different music, natural sounds, and his voice are done perfectly and consistently. This kind of production is almost unheard of these days. It takes class and experience for that. Hate to go on about it but it's just very rare and nice.

[@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. It is very soothing and entertaining. Whenever I am stressed out in my life, I always go to watch your sailing videos and it comfort me a lot. - 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.

[@TPT6148]

Couldn't agree more! All your videos are so beautiful and well done, you make BBC & ITV look pathetic in comparison.

[@MrAhmedzand]

Before couple of weeks when I started to search in KZbin for any video for the natural places in the world, then I watched the first video of FlemingYachts with amazing presentation, after that I became addicted to watch them all one by one, even I started to repeat watching them again. Since I can see through these videos the most charming places in the world that I can only dream to visiting them in my life. Thanks Mr. Tony for these amazing videos which is make me so relax and God bless you.

[@tomquinn5437]

Tony Fleming never disappoints. His videos are meticulously executed just like his yachts.

[@michaelambrosano938]

I absolutely love your video's and have lived vicariously through your adventures. Seeing parts of the world that I will never see in person, but feeling my heart swell when I see so many beautiful and wonderous places. Thank you, as always for posting. Namaste!

[@whalebay1]

These stories you share and the quality and care you put into them is a huge credit to you. Like others who have commented, I got hooked into your excellent storytelling while sick with covid. I couldn't be bothered to do anything. But watching these is so therapeutic and damn enjoyable. Im a school teacher and now recovered back at school sharing a series of lessons about Journeys and adventure...guess what my class will be watching!! Blessings

[@michielferreira6606]

We enjoy your video's. We are looking after a jong man with a heritage brain illness and your voice have a very calming effect on him. God bless.

[@idartist45]

As is all the videos you have made, these are fantastic. Love your story, the scenery and your narration. Thank you Tony.

[@rd9028]

For me this would be the ultimate life. The boat is a dream home that I could take anywhere I want to go. A beautiful dream. These videos bring this out unlike any I have seen , thank you🍁🍂🌌⛵

[@garymoore1961]

Thankyou for posting this and working hard to get it right. I have the Covid 19 and watching all Fleming videos have been a comfort to me. Once again thank you.

[@lisablake4237]

I'm glad Venture was able to come up here to Alaska, I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

[@DIY-DaddyO]

Your films have inspired me to travel our planet by boat. I see Venture more as a magical floating home that takes you anywhere you like, from the Galapagos to New York. And you cover a bit of history, music, culture, engineering. Very entertaining. Thank you 🙏

[@ericlakota6512]

Love the way this man documents he makes it so intresting the anamals he catures and knows about them its awsome the first few vidios i thought it was national geographic and thought the he was a scintist who loved his yacht every trip is so well documented id love to be rich and have a yacht like that

[@chouleanghak5085]

I pretty much enjoy traveling with you all via these superb videos and see the remote locations at sea that the majority of us earthlings are not fortunate enough to see them in real world. Love these videos. Wish the whole world would see them. Wish the whole world as peaceful as these videos are. God richly bless you, wonderful people. There is a brand-new world of true peace and serenity coming. From USA Merry Christmas Monday December 25, 2023 @12:19pm.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Hi Tony. My Father was a sailor who sailed the Atlantic on a 40 ft Ketch, but I am not, although I love the sea and travel. I was brought to your site because I am following "Sailing Magic Carpet" a delightful young couple planing to sail the world. You may find their story of interest, he is a boat builder that rebuilt an insurance right off 28 ft Yacht that had fallen off a crane. I have watched most of your videos and they are a work of art, your cinematography and narration are a pleasure to behold. Take care and keep safe. Regards :-))

[@leonardaitcheson6224]

Soothing music at 48 to 50....apart from a very nice documentary of a beautiful boat. Well deserved trip guys.

[@TheJanez59]

Mr. Fleming is the best ! I cant say, howe i enjoy watching his films !! I never be on a boat, but i realy like to watch this kind of movies !! All the best Mr.Fleming !!! JR from Slovenia, Europe !

[@loisraymcinnis6006]

FANTASTIC! MANY THANKS.

[@DDixon3121]

Absolutely marvelous videos....thank you so much. Not only are they enjoyable to watch, they're very educational and entertaining. I only wish I had the resources to purchase a Fleming yacht.....I live in Mobile, AL and this is an excellent boating area.

[@petedavis8701]

Fantastic calming film which I am watching in May 2020 in England in the bizarre times of Covid 19 pandemic

[@philiphannum4211]

Pete Davis Me too, would rather be out there than in here.

[@Bulletguy07]

@Pete Davis.....same here also in UK! Totally agree i found it very relaxing. A beautiful boat and credit to it's builders and owner who USES it unlike the billionaires 'ships' stuck in marinas.

[@niceclassicboat6874]

Thank you so much for posting this amazing video! I really looked forward to new videos from you and your wonderful journeys. I´ve been once in a beautiful Fleming yacht at Cannes Yachtshow. Since that day, I work on my dream of owning a Fleming yacht one day. :-)

[@brentloftis3746]

Excellent film. Enjoyed your adventure. What a trip!

[@JulieWallis1963]

Talking of “adventure” have you checked out Mr. F’s journey across the Sahara? Absolutely fascinating.

[@tajik.yassin5203]

These videos are phenomenal!! They remind me of watching Jacque Cousteau on Saturday’s growing up. Im starting classes to get my captains license to drive yachts as a business and personal. 👍👍👍

[@alexandervanwyk7669]

Incredible journey with your masterpiece. Thanks Tony again. Bless you to have still many safe trips around the globe.

[@WillFastie]

Beautifully done, as always. Hollywood's loss is yachting's gain.

[@busterbeagle2167]

[@muckshifter]

A great narrated film Mr Tony. Any chance we can get a tour of the boat. 💕

[@darkketchup8883]

[@joywalsh6012]

A fabulous video indeed and as enjoyable as all your previous ones. I'm looking forward to the continuing story of your amazing adventures. Beautifully shot scenery and excellent commentary as always. Thank you.

[@yogibear4682]

And that is why I have subscribed to this channel. An amazing story of an amazing adventure on an amazing boat. Filming, editing, mixing, and narration, is outstanding and compelling. Thank you for your time and effort bringing your story to the world.

[@gavinturner5565]

Just wonderful what you did with your boat and photography. Stunning!!! I feel like I'm watching Cousteau or Attenborough!!! Wonderful detail and attention. What a way of life!!! Joyous!!!

[@pauljames9527]

Well said

[@JulieWallis1963]

I subscribed after seeing his ‘little trip’ across the Sahara! But I only found that because I was drooling over boats I can never hope to own.

[@gavinturner5565]

@@JulieWallis1963 Never say "never" Julie!!!

[@BELLE_MYMAIL1]

I agree, I just posted about the same, its so nice to see these videos and have a serious narrator that loves the trips, and is happy to bring it out to us as well. :)

[@rondunn4336]

Your commentary is so calm, educated and educational, thank you.

[@cds957]

Thank you Tony, I have watched this video 3 or 4 times and it is very entertaining and knowledgeable.

So wonderful!!!

[@thosoz3431]

Kiko Rock, Galapagos, 33.19 , snorkeled between them with my daughter last year. Thank you for the wonderful footage. Magnificient place.

[@saltydogashore]

As somebody else almost said ... stand down David Attenborough. Fleming has a hypnotic alluring style. I'm reduced to being an armchair sailor, these days but my vicarious pleasure is greatly enhanced by these superb videos

[@TheSuprahuman]

Fantastic video, I could watch this all day. The yacht is truly a timeless beauty which I can only hope to afford one day. Waiting in eager anticipation for the next leg of this magnificent journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnshields6852]

When I see those rock formations jutting out of the ocean it reminds me how insignificant I am, and how fleeting my life is. Beautiful yacht, it's cool to go with you on video, something I'd never be able to do, thank you.

Maybe I have been watching too many voyages of the Venture--last night I dreamt that I was asked to go to Birch Bay and catch Dungeness Crab. Great dream, woke up smiling--but now hungry for crab.

[@ragnargranum7374]

I love this videos , we are in a much smaller boat but it have all we need and stay 6 months in Norwegian fjords every summer. Your videos Are my getaway in winter

[@jvo0311]

I would definitely buy this when I get too old to sail. Fleming yacht is the best!

[@bnkwupt]

Inspiring adventures. Last week, I did Boston to DC through the Cape Cod Canal and the C&D in a 1969 Hatteras 45 sport fish with friends. It was surreal being out there by ourselves due to the pandemic. Take care!

[@Veldtian1]

'pandemic' is just a comfortable word to describe something that's happening.

*Absolutely splendid - as always! . . . .* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓

[@indianoladave]

Venture was in my harbor and i missed it. Bummer I was not a youtuber at the time. Or rich so i would not had any idea what i was looking at. Maybe some other time. Humboldt bay and the port of Eureka California are awesome.

I really am enjoying your marine adventure videos. I’ve never even owned a boat except in my dreams.

Eureka MT (on the map) has a quaint "downtown". The real estate in and around Eureka is zoned BS2 (I think). This "business service 2-story" would be good for web designers.

Bolex Swiss motion picture cameras are a beautiful example of precision and art from the days of film. Your videos are like a Bolex camera and that is a compliment.

I wish one day of my life would be like this..

[@JulieWallis1963]

Thank you. I love watching yachts and boats, because once upon a time I spent every weekend having fun, cruising, drinking, adventuring and enjoying our boat. Until I didn’t, I was dumped for a younger, prettier girl and I really miss the boat, so I watch. I watch boat tours, I watch trips, I watch this, and you’ve just reminded me that once *I did mop the boat whilst wearing a bikini, I did go to yacht clubs in new towns, I was part of a flotilla as our yacht club headed away for a long weekend of fun* and I might miss it but I have at least done it. I’m remarried now to a wonderful man, he has no salt water in his veins, but he does indulge me with lovely cruise ship holidays. He knows I love sleeping whilst be rocked on board.

[@davebailey2584]

As usual you have done a great job of editing your .photography. I'd love to go from our Nonsuch to a Fleming 55 but unfortunately would not be able to add the fuel...LOL guess I will have to stick to sail...I have witnessed you wonderful wonderful adventures around the world and thoroughly enjoy them all...

[@saltydogashore]

The world is full of such beauty

[@MatHelm]

@17:00 What would have been tragic was if "White Men" hadn't arrived. There are no yachts in the dark world of socialistic/communistic brutally enforced equality. In which btw, none of those Redwoods would have survived the housing and fuel shortages.

[@theturdcurd2382]

as just a blue collard worker, I can't even imagine the money it costs not only for the ship, but for the lifestyle of cruising. This is something I will never be able to do in real life, but at least I can see it in these videos. Still though, I'm sad I couldn't have joined on even a 3 hour tour.

I don't have a video specifically of the interior of Venture but she is a standard Fleming 65 and there are many details on the Fleming website. www.Flemingyachts.com

Wow. So it appears, your actual main occupation is living on and operating a boat here and there and everywhere, despite the dangers and risks. An interesting vocation indeed. I would never have occurred to me, to do such a thing, but I'm delighted to watch your doing it. :) Thank you very much for enlarging my experiences.

[@jamwest3146]

I love your videos, and would love to buy one of your ships. But, I can only afford to watch.

[@doittoday1]

Mr Fleming please keep the videos coming.

[@dannettepeters1507]

Surreal. Venture, moving through the water, must be causing an updraft in the air that the birds are gracefully gliding on. Or, maybe there are just good smells coming from the galley! 🤔

[@bradolsen9981]

You always make wonderful videos part of me also still thinks you sound like Alford Hitchcock

[@ivanolsen8596]

What ever happened to the great old Kent Clearview screens? You had a constant clean screen in all weather, not having to wait for a piece of rubber to meander across the screen blurring your vision, and adding to an already difficult job in foul weather. BTW, a beautiful vessel and a great vid showing her off to advantage.

[@FlemingYachts]

The problem with Kent screens is that they offer a very small space to look through unless you are very close to the screen which is seldom the case in a modern boat. Also the screen really needs to be near vertical. Actually the regular wipers work quite well and have all the usual speed and intermittent controls plus freshwater wash.

[@logowatchman]

Very well done. Videography, editing and narration are top notch. I just discovered this channel and I'm hooked.
