Your photography, editing, bg music and the pace of your narration of these videos is wonderful. I truly enjoy going along on your adventures. Thank you so much.

[@dadthejedi]

Ditto!

[@mookloud2]

I cannot understand why you don't have 5 million subscribers. Your videos are some of the best I have seen on youtube. And maybe they are the best. Just love them.

[@dwdtube1111]

Thank you Tony Fleming & Crew for sharing another great adventure with us. Always a delight to watch.

[@johnmacgregor9136]

As always, impressive videography combined with outstanding narration, and exceptional editing (plus, the background music adds well to the final result). I repeat my thanks for sharing your spectacular journeys with us. 😀

[@PaulDeatherage]

I have had so much enjoyment watching your journeys. The work you do with videography/photography, narration, music and information is superb! Thank you for all the hard work and sharing Adventure with us.

[@BuckTravis]

Thanks Tony. Sitting in our Utah home planning the journey for the summer months on Joy 55-133. This year will include the Exumas, up the east coast to a visit to Burr and friends in Annapolis. Then on to Halifax, the lakes and Prince Edward Island. All made possible due the the terrific boat you designed and built.

[@FlemingYachts]

Sounds like a fantastic trip. If you have any interest in witnessing the huge tides at the head of the Bay of Fundy, I strongly suggest hiring a car either from Prince Edward Island or Halifax and driving to take a look. It's only a few miles from either of those places which I didn't realize until I was doing the maps for the video. Aaargh!!

[@BuckTravis]

We met at the last Rendezvous in Annapolis. We took Joy to Nova Scotia two years ago inspired by your visit on Venture. We loved the Bay of Fundy. Especially the fact that there were no traps! Looking forward to some incredible seafood and vistas.

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Every time I watch one of the video's I get lost in time. I get totally immersed and come back to conscientiousness when it's over. I like that.

[@silviorefondini]

That additional "Human" touch and underwater shots ...just perfect ! What a dream area !

[@tiara_richmarinadelrey2719]

The jelly fish scene was academy award worthy. Thank you so much.

[@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.

[@suziqbrown7073]

I wonder how many people, like me, live out our dream vacations through you. SO enjoy your videos

Mr Tony Fleming. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful videos. I hope to own a Fleming yacht one day, my kind of boat. I used to own a Princess Yacht, wrong boat for us.

[@notatechie]

When I was in shop class, a long time ago, in high school, I built a twelve foot marine plywood boat as my woodworking project. ( I got an A) I used it for some time fishing for panfish and my parents bought me a five horsepower Eska outboard as a graduation present. I'm with you man.

[@oQsR]

Every single upload is quality. Absolutely love your channel, thank you for this content.

Thank you for taking us into the boats' living area. I hope it's not the last time.

Thank you Tony. Another lovely video to watch. You’ve not made a bad ( boring ) one yet - they’re all exciting. Here in Australia it’s hard to imagine the coldness of Alaska. Kendall family 👏👏

Can only dream of one day sailing to places like this. Thanks for sharing another amazing video Tony

This is incredible footage! You really should be making TV documentaries or IMAX movies, the quality is that good! And of course your voice for the narration, just perfect! Highly under-subscribed channel.

Cannot wait to see your next masterpiece. Wonderful !!!

Awesome as always.

[@bernalfiesaysip8791]

Wow very splendid sir! I really love the background music, the narration, and the editing of the video caught my attention, so relaxing just like a poem.

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

No idea why jellyfish haven't been incorporated into horror films. HaHaHa This might be your finest film yet, Tony. The beauty of these small towns and hamlets is simply stunning.

[@Ameng3471]

Nice cinematography. Would be good if you could also include 2/3 minutes the venture feature such as at 11:50. We want to enjoy the yatch also. Never missed your video

[@princeshan0000]

It's beautiful video with lots of natural beauty❤

[@tunamaniak]

My like went to the amazing docking skills of float plane pilot at 5 min.

[@BrodyYYC]

I love your videos! You're sort of like a modern day John Muir. I feel like you would enjoy his 'Travels in Alaska' book if you haven't read it already.

[@modavaux]

I love watching these... You’re making it hard to decide Fleming or Nordhavn... ;-)

[@GrumpyAustralian]

I know which one I'd purchase. The Fleming.

[@jandtlivinglife3130]

I'll stick with my Kelly-Peterson 46.

Great video!!! The quality and presentation is outstanding! What is your photography equipment? Thanks!!!

[@FlemingYachts]

Camera is a Panasonic GH5. Usually just use a 14 -140 mm lens. All hand-held. No tripod. Underwater shots used a Panasonic TS5 on the end of a stick. Edited in Final Cut Pro.

[@DrCrabfingers]

The height of those floating pontoon pilings!! They're 12 ft tall!! There must be massive tidal variation there?

[@FlemingYachts]

"We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Petersburg which is of 20.7 ft and a minimum height of -4.6 ft." Quote from the internet. That is a total range of over 25 feet.

[@Orchardman53]

I'm just waiting for the Lottery win to gain a Fleming 65, but even then I don't think I could ever match your film making skills.

[@r.waynefournier4283]

Stunning video as always, sir. And you've added a twist by taking the camera underwater! Don't tell me you've started diving! How are you getting those underwater shots?

[@FlemingYachts]

A simple Panasonic TS5 camera on the end of a stick.

[@r.waynefournier4283]

Excellent invention those sticks!

[@pennilessbutpassionate5874]

your narration .... wow

[@notatechie]

👍😉

[@hshs5756]

Stu Miller, one of my aircraft mechanic instructors, had flown charter float planes out of Seattle. He told us of a distinct difference between the people on power yachts and sailing yachts: With power boats, if he was ten minutes late they'd be pointing at their watches and asking where he'd been. With sailboats he could be two hours late and they'd still be kicked back, wave, and say "How you doing?" No offense intended to power boaters...

[@GARYINLEEDS]

Have you heard of a book from 1923 called The Smokey God? On youtube there is a great documentary about the book.

House flipping 🤣🤣🤣

[@jwporteresq]

You know it’s illegal to take motorized vessels up in the back bay right? Even when you did this and posted this video? It’s a big fine.

[@FlemingYachts]

I don't know which bay you are referring to but if you mean Elfin Cove we never took the boat past the dock at the entrance. We took the boardwalk the rest of the way.

[@bilgeratjim]

Those are gnomes, not elves.

[@FlemingYachts]

Oops! But those are what the good people of Elfin Cove scatter around!
