Fleming 65 (2020) - Technical Video

The Fleming 65 is designed for comfortable, long-distance offshore cruising. At trawler speeds, her range exceeds 2000 nautical miles. Protection against heavy weather is provided by the Portuguese bridge, which has an aft section designed for storing gear in a number of lockers.

Thanks for joining us to see the technical video fo the Fleming 65. We have just finished a features and performance test video and will be posting those soon. Thanks for watching!

[@jeannemiller8377]

How many backups on the computer systems?

[@McCavity2]

The more I learn about Fleming yachts the more I fall in love with them. Mind you, there‘s a lot of great boat builders out there but I just happen to agree best with Fleming's philosophy of a sea-going vessel, even if it comes with a massive price tag.

[@boberteroberte]

Finally a video I can comment😊 so I can tell Cap. Steve to please keep up the good work and "see you, on the water"🛥

[@TheSuprahuman]

Timeless beauty. This will be just as desirable in 20 years. If I ever can afford a proper boat Fleming will be my choice. Many thanks Captain Steve!

[@rickydee5863]

Captain Steve is a real professional.he explained the helm and engine room features in the Flemming 65 in such detailed and interesting way. Now I know the the attention to detail that goes into the enginering on the 65 .in this one presentation I have learnt that the Flemming brand represents reassuring quality. Thank you for the experience.

[@davidanderson8381]

Such beautiful machines. I love the modern equipment wrapped in the classic and ageless design. Thanks for the video.

[@tm502010]

Really like this touch screen overview. Would like to see more people do videos like this.

[@Crazyasianman286]

Fleming is my dream boat followed closely by Nordhavn

[@lifesanabyss2727]

Absolutely. I’ve fitted out a lot of boats and Fleming is by far my favourite. Nordhavn are nice but overall design of Fleming kills it

[@Colinpark]

They both bring nice things to the table and if you can afford them, you can choose the boat that's right for you. Crossing oceans I go Nordhaven, but the Fleming will do very well at long distance coastal cruising and likley do that a bit better than the Nordhaven. That extra speed really helps with Tidal currents and narrows.

[@fredscribner3688]

Glad to see you have finally got a test video out on this magnificent yacht must have watched your reviews of the 55 and 58 a dozen times. 😊

Thanks captain Steve , great illustration And great video. Hope there will be a test video for this lovely boat. Take care

And marked - that is impressive. And Venture 2 is a this same model - Tony Flemings personal boat. That says a lot !

Now this is exciting... the anticipation of the "features" video... VERY eager for that!

[@RogerWilco1]

I just realized I appreciate how Capt Steve does all these on the same formula, and in a a very consistent manner. I didn’t expect you would do Fleming yachts. I love so much about them, though I wonder if the redundancy maybe adds so much complexity it defeats itself.

[@jlewis4587]

Roger Wilco I’m sure if you’re crossing the pacific, 1000+ miles from anywhere, you’ll be very appreciative of redundancies if something goes wrong.

[@gerrylopez5743]

Chances of something going wrong on one of these Flemings is highly unlikely but shit hits the fan when you least expect it like a mid ocean crossing. Imagine that big smile on your face when that moment comes and you realize that not only do you have a plan b but your plan b has a plan c. Even easier. Imagine you’re not on a Fleming and there is no plan b let alone a plan c.

[@slamboy66]

I love the Fleming you did a year or so ago .

[@johnbettano6026]

I'm looking at 65 to 76 I've been looking at the Nordhaven but this Fleming has me smiling.

[@eddu4361]

Extensive systems on a 65 feet boat. Like the home screen!

[@Tainted79]

Big fan of the Fleming and Outer Reef yachts.

[@jaquigreenlees]

Alaskan and Marlow as well since they are very similar. In all actuality, the Grand Banks Alaskans ( not in production any more ) were based on the Fleming design and the current Alaskan boats are still identical in appearance from the outside to the Fleming boats.

[@Maulinator69]

Fantastic boat and as always another fantastic review by Captain Steve. No need however, for the generic, overly dramatic and occasionally intrusive music playing constantly in the background. We come here to look at beautiful boats and listen to this intelligent man speak and give us his qualified commentary, not to watch a music video.

[@mattshaffer7699]

I’d love to see a “features” video of this boat.

We will be releasing these soon.

@@seikibrian8641 Thanks! That was very thoughtful and I appreciate the effort!

[@harbourdogNL]

Was a KZbin fan of the Nordhavns for quite a while, and now am an even bigger fan of the Flemings, they seem to be even better than Nordhavns, which is saying a lot. I'd be buying a 65 if money was object, without question.

[@petermcgrory5267]

An absolutely fantastic vessel; my Lotto boat...lol...

[@bipingala5900]

You are great thank you

[@TheMerriell]

Was hoping for a test of the '78 Fleming..still..the new dashboard is awesome!

[@BoatTEST]

So far Fleming hasn’t has a 78 available for testing, but it’s on their list of boat for us to do. They just need a buyer that can hold off on taking possession of his new yacht. - This is from Capt. Steve. ;)

[@TheMerriell]

@@BoatTEST thank you so much Capt Steve..this is the yacht my father explicitly said that I should buy..he attained his captains license early in his lifetime and had a few yachts of his own in southern California..

[@paulmarc7116]

Fantastic short video, any chance of a feature of about 30 mins on some boats like this with perhaps interviews? Keep up the good work, remember longer is better. Thank you 🤗👍

[@BoatTEST]

Great idea! And during this time we plan to do more interview pieces.

[@paulmarc7116]

Great I’ve been a subscriber to the daily email for about 4 years and love the content, always positively love your content. Thanks for the feedback from you ⛵️🛥🛳🚤🛶 love it all ❤️🖖

[@donhappel9928]

That proprietary helm system is very nice, but I cringe thinking of what it will be like in 10 years when it's in need of service and obsolete. I have a lot of respect for Flemmings, but I'm old enough to still like simplicity and ease of maintenance.

[@Alexander-kz2ov]

Will there be a video about the new 85 soon?

[@elmiguel6725]

seems like a very sea worthy boat.

[@FlaGolfer]

I’d like to see that and a test video. Looks like a great boat.

More technical videos. Maybe even specific items like only bridge equipment etc.

Compared to similar boats of this size and design by other manufacturers can you (or someone else) please share your thoughts on the Fleming 65's fuel efficiency (GPH @ varied KNOTS). Many Thanks!

[@sarahw.mcelyea5655]

I wonder if the checklist has the option of being green/yellow instead of green/red for those who are red/green colorblind, as my husband is. (Red and green look alike.)

[@Philjamon]

What is the relationship between Fleming Yachts and Outer Reef Yachts

Captain Steve if somebody wanted to get a hold of you tell us how we can do that

I would have like to see more of how it runs on the water. Form the short clip it seems to be “plowing” but the angle was poor, to be fair.

As a fisherman I have different tastes but I have to admit Fleming make everything else look average

[@nicklevi5537]

2 thumbs down already. Trolls are just everywhere. Brother have a 94 made 55' sportfisher cabin cruiser. Im familiar with how this type boat ride on the sea 🥰. Smooth and chill and with open aft deck ..

[@ByronWalter]

Those 'thumbs down' are from Australians. From their perspective those are actually 'thumbs up'. And if anyone cares or doesn't know, Tony Fleming has posted some great travel vids on the Fleming channel.

[@Chris-fo8wp]

Great boat except for the MANgrenades...needs CAT's :)

[@scabthecat]

Why?

[@spacecoasttactical]

Flemings are not "made for crossing oceans". If you ask Tony Fleming about this he says "if you want to cross oceans get a Nordhavn"

[@bigrobnz]

well....my boat has oars......ok one oar.......
