Venture around Vancouver Island

[@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.

[@lessismoor5907]

I don't care if you even called it "Bumford," your work is astounding, and your efforts can never be appreciated enough. Thank you, Mr. Fleming.

[@jclar3565]

I think this little series sets a precedent in simple high quality entertainment...professionally produced stories of experiences accessible to adventure minded regular people.

[@thomasfleming2593]

Such a leisurely pace and so much beauty to behold. I feel like I've had a vacation after watching each one of your documentary's. Thank You. Tom Fleming

[@AWWx2]

A wonderful island, so insignificant to so many folk in Canada, USA, all of North and South America and the rest of the world, but oh, such a treasure and filled with such intrigue, such majesty, such interesting climates and sea and freshwater merges. And, such great photography, every second of this 38 minute video. And you deliver such poetry about this trip.

[@Penelope.Banana]

This was beautiful. As a Vancouver Island resident, this showcase of our remote areas is brilliant.

[@tomquinn5437]

Another spectacular adventure video by Tony Fleming. Thanks for who you are and what you do.

[@myriamlockhart6560]

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely voyage, it felt like I was almost there, like a dream. The narrator voice combined with the spectacular filming was sublime.

[@guerrillaentrepreneur5999]

At times I hear Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sir Richard Attenborough in the his voice as he narrates this excellent video...................!

[@mikeysclips]

I shed a tear when he said "festoons".

[@herbspivey965]

I’ve dreamed of buying an old fishing boat and going around the island. I’m only 73 years so I still have time to do it. Until then I’ll keep watching your videos. They are magnificent. Thanks once more.

[@FlemingYachts]

Up until this past summer, I used quite large and expensive Sony video cameras. This summer I switched to a Panasonic GH3 SLR camera which is much smaller, lighter and more discreet. also much cheaoer even after buying lenses. I had quite a learning curve making the change but the results are great. I then had problems dealing with the camera files in my editing system so I bit the bullet and switched to Final Cut Pro 10 which meant upgrading the computer - another steep learning curve. This video is the first from this new combination.

[@IamUke]

+FlemingYachts Your videos are beautiful, informative and inspiring. You are my model for the videos of my own Vancouver Island Adventure I am planning. Thanks for sharing!

[@MetaView7]

Great video. Very educational.

[@snoozinglion8596]

Great adventure! You're lucky ;) Thanks for sharing Ps. From Vancouver island (Nanaimo - East Coast)

[@thomassmith2056]

your videos are fantastic Tony 😁thank you sir

[@skipsassy1]

Explain the building of the vessel outside a U.S. second tier yard please and no more editorials from this maritime lawyer.

[@nicholaschampagne1976]

Since finding this channel, I Love your adventures, narrative is nice, informative. I started from oldest and watching one by one, THANKS

[@marklortie4681]

Thank you so much for the jurny. It is so beautiful. I only wish I could be there.

[@bob-qz9ey]

Wow! As a 69 yr resident of this jewel of an Island, whose travelled most of it, I'm as grateful for this venture as for who realized it. What a wonderful journey!

[@beadleniki]

You did a great job capturing the beauty of our Island.

[@viahj]

Watching your films, my soul takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, in comfort of the grand realms that lie around us, yet undiscovered. Thank you for taking us along your adventures.

[@jacktaylor1030]

Simply the Best, the Cinematography of this video is second to none. Yes, I would've liked to seen some fishing of such pristine waters. Hopefully another cruiser will cover fishing in another adventure. The scenery was epic, well done job, folk's, Love Y'all.

[@davidsmith3828]

Thank you so much for producing and posting this absolutely stunning video! It helps me keep realizing there is so much beauty and peaceful nature in the world! They should require anyone watching the daily news to watch such a video after each episode...there IS still beauty in the world! Thank you...from a Louisiana wasteland!

[@FLGurl]

This channel is more than Oscar--worthy. My ❤ is blessed in many ways with each video. Thank you (again).

[@timothyfrench9579]

I'm crying right now. This is perfectly reminiscent of what my late wife and I did during our frequent visits to the Broughton islands. You have captured the ambiance perfectly. We had the luxury of modern navigation when it was brand new, so there was very little traffic, and we took our 42 ft sailboat into uncharted waters, and enjoyed the experience of exploring in the tender, places that travelers didn't bother. Thank you, Timmy

[@Dan_C604]

Mr. Fleming’s legacy, not only beautiful yachts but also amazing journeys across the world. Thank you, Mr. Fleming!

[@cq7415]

Another wonderful video of the NW. You guys are real experts at boating and making videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@pittwaterplayground]

We visited Vancouver Island from Australia last year. This wonderful film brings back so many wonderful memories. Cannot wait to come back, and please don't let too many people know what an amazing place it is. Thank you.

[@CALTECH007]

Well here I am again 4 years from my last visit. Just love your videos and thanks again.

[@garybevis8691]

I have been through the inside passage in a fishing boat some 21 years ago, brings back wonderful memories, cheers and thanks a million for the pictures. I had a film camera and was not to capture more than a precious few. From Gig Harbor WA to Icy Bay AK I went by seine boat. It was part amazement, terror and wonder. I loved to see the humpback whales I got sprayed by a whale sounding 10 feet from me on the skiff. Some of the best memories of my 60 year old life.

[@EKAdventures51]

this is great filmography, now videography, I thank you for your experience put on screen - combining two of my loves, filming and travel on West coast BC

[@evabalga6133]

Superb narration and sensitive use of music that doesn’t blast over natural sounds is another thing I appreciate tremendously.

[@jc0730]

Another remarkably beautiful journey courtesy of Venture and its crew. Thank you!

[@kellyr5275]

One of my favorite activities...to relax I watch your travels. So well done...thank you so much. What a blessed life you have, to see wonders of the world like this!! Someday...I hope I can go on an adVENTURE😉

[@SideTripLife]

Wonderful! As a native West Coast BC'r, it is both an honour and pleasure to watch this series. Thank you sir.

[@NauticalPappyStu]

Having spent years throughout this region I can say there's always new things to see and the fishing is most excellent. Rivers Inlet just north used to be my favorite place, but the west side of Vancouver is a gorgeous place. Enjoyed your production thoroughly, many thanks, calm winds and following seas... Pappy

[@DonParsons1957]

Beautiful, beautiful. I live on the East side of Vancouver Island. It is truly a beautiful place. Thanks for the video.

[@frednavrotski8936]

I have friends that live in the island now. I feel so much closer to them now. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it greatly.

[@anthonysanford444]

Awesome thanks for the upload I'm from Alert Bay it's nice to see my memories aren't just a dream 🤔🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👽😒

[@jcarmich0]

Wonderful video! Of course, it's not Bamford, but Bamfield - no matter. This is a trip I took with my dad and my father-in-law a few years ago aboard his 37' Tolly. We visited many of the same places and, although we examined Roaringhole Rapids, we did not transit them. Fascinating adventure and thank you for sharing!

[@jesserevilla992]

Never seen most of these sights, absolutely breath taking and the narration is a perfect blend .. thank you

[@christophermcdaniel9492]

Stunning! Some of the most raw and yet calming scenes I've ever had the pleasure of watching! Great job!

[@patriciarussell1177]

I love your commentator he has the most magnificent voice I put him right up beside Mr. Wallace wildlife, I grew up with Mr. Wallace and I could always fall asleep to this voice which is a big compliment, I would love to see the venture up close the inside and the exterior.

[@DrCrabfingers]

Tony...the poetic skills of your ancestors are here for all to enjoy. What a wonderful film. Venture looks superb as she calmly provides a haven from the fog and tides of those awe inspiring bodies of water. For myself, I have to say that it is my deeply held dream to explore that very coastline in a trawler yacht...following the Gray whales as they migrate North to Alaska...for me, that coast line is a magnet, it is the stuff of my very deepest desires...that coastline and the Caribbean, and Bermuda hold me in a mesmeric gaze. I desire to do what you have done with all my heart...I salute you and your incredible achievements....

[@theophil4090]

Comme à chaque fois , un magnifique voyage , filmé et commenté avec cette perfection qui n'appartient qu'à Tony Fleming !.. Merci infiniment de cette pause de beauté sereine que vous nous faites partager avec vous !

[@minenu11]

Vancouver island. A microcosm of paradise. My favourite place in the world.

[@xxlyoster7553]

Danke.... für die wundervollen, stimmungsvollen Impressionen. Bilder zum Träumen die uns in eine entfernte Welt führen.

[@freeskitim800]

THANK YOU! This is the best stuff on youtube!

[@jameswellings9944]

Fantastisch series, brings back memories! Thank you so much Fleming's people

[@alantally5604]

You are SO LUCKY to have made these trips through the Almighty Lord's Nature. Can you imagine how Great HE must be.

[@janetmariaburke4208]

Thank you very much. I have thoroughly enjoyed travelling with you on Venture. Wonderful films. What a beautiful world this is, planet earth. I live in London, I would never exspereance these wonderful sights, travelling on the seas in Venture. Thank you.

[@suemckenney4313]

Beautiful video yet again. Magnificent Vancouver Island, beautiful Fleming.

[@100daysmic9]

Excellent video! BC I LOVE it! So lucky to have weather without rain. Only need to look at the lush greenery to realize how much rain we get. It is a rain forest!

[@trumpetmano]

Great video-great narration. Thanks for sharing.

[@1corvair2]

Absolute wonderful video, shot so very well. Capturing the beauty of the islands and the waters. Thank you.

[@lukeeichner]

BEEN WATCHING A FEW OF THESE NOW OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS FANTASTIC

[@dustyrusty7956]

Magnificent scenery and a great travelogue. Well done, Tony Fleming.

[@LynBailey7]

Tony, yet another masterpiece from you. While I have visited Vancouver Island many time and love every minute I spend there, I have never seen the west Coast. After watching this, I have just added it to my bucket list on my next trip from Australia 🤗

[@lottielove7383]

Not sure why people put the thumbs down on this, I thought it was great and what a lovely life out on the water all the time, The video was so tranquil and i could sail around where you guys were all day!!

[@christophermcdaniel9492]

I just can't get enough! I loved the trip to Idaho!! The Snake river, wow! And, now this trip.... beautiful! Great job(s)!

[@glennmacdonald5475]

an Amazing Film! Quality Picture Sound and Narration. Not to mention a Beautiful landscape.... I want to go NOW! Thankx

[@joywalsh6012]

A most wonderful adventure! Beautiful scenery, calm music until the rapids, makes for very enjoyable viewing. Thank you for sharing your travels!

[@dennismorales3324]

I thank you for sharing your magnificent videos. What an amazing journey. I absolutely enjoy watching your beautiful yachts. Thank you, Mr. Fleming!

[@2needtoknow]

Live in Qualicum Beach and I must say what an outstanding film of our back yard.

[@mickemike2148]

Thank you for this majestic film! The footage is utterly beautiful and the narrative very interesting and inspired. You have earned yourself a new follower.

[@danielleelias685]

Thank you so so much for helping us travel through your eyes. My husband and I have been to many of these places and we just love B.C., the island is so beautiful. But by boat we can see such a much more beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing that so we can see it. Love your professional beautiful documentaries.

[@CVD-di1xn]

Very enjoyable. I'm certain I will never see this first hand in my life. Thank You

[@BEBUSINESSCHANNEL]

Truly some of you best work....just beautiful and the music perfect....thank you for sharing your ad-venture

[@o2bnov0307]

This was so beautiful. I enjoyed it with my morning mug of coffee on Easter Sunday. Thank you.

[@suzannetedrickmusic5972]

Beautiful. I live on Vancouver Island, and have seen some of these more common places like Ucluelet, but it's so amazing to get to see footage of the more remote areas! Thank you......

[@ascholar2074]

what's life like there?

[@stanpurves9677]

Life on Vancouver Island is amazing, wonderful, magical, fantastic, and inspiring.

[@firstnamelastname-ct7nr]

wonderful. ..thank you,we live in the village of gold river near nootka sound and were proud to see a production done nearby...come again!

[@RETIREMESOON]

+richard noname Any free camping in your area.We will be RV ling at the Island.A (month) to explore your area would be great in June-Sept end. some time

[@jibguy2003]

Your storytelling craft is as solid as your boats.

[@sdcrilly]

That was so beautiful and refreshing.

[@bcbliss5147]

Stunning Video . As a Vancouver resident I hope to see some of the untouched western Vancouver island scenery. Until then this is the next best thing. I've watched it twice. Great narration voice too. Just well done!

[@judgedredd8657]

im glad you enjoyed your time around my island, my home

[@johnshields6852]

Well spoken English, no hype, no antics, thank you so much. Now that's how to start a yacht company, sailing thousands of nautical miles, proving her seaworthiness

[@L1V2P9]

Thank you, I enjoyed it immensely. Nature photography at its best. The bird at 3:38 is actually a Ruddy Turnstone, not a Ruddy Turnover.

[@DogSoldier64]

I have watched MANAAY of your video's and I rarely comment,.but I LOVE them,..I always feel as though I am along for the journey! AND the editing is flawless,..thank you for sharing

[@robertbergstrom7029]

I have watched and enjoyed all the Fleming videos. I very much appreciate your work. Thanks for making these available.

[@AwakenThyself]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. :) Many blessings

[@wentaili1615]

Wow, almost didn't want the video to end! Thank you for making this. Looking forward to more West Coast stuff!

[@papacowboy]

Love these videos! Have dreamed of visiting this area for decades, never being able to afford it. Health and cost prevents any hope of getting the chance, this is as close as I'll ever get. Thanks very much!! I found the sundews interesting, thinking them to be more of a warmer climate species, such as the wetlands of Florida.

[@sailor123ize]

Love that Fleming 72, wish I had the money. Had to settle for a Beneteau Swift 34 trawler. A decent little boat not no match for that beauty Fleming 72. I have watched and love all the videos posted by Fleming Yachts.

[@roydesignedthat]

I appreciate the effort you all put into sharing this! Thank you! Best/Roy

[@jillmoloy1928]

Thank you for the virtual ride up the west coast of Vancouver Island!

[@subarokec]

Your videos are stuning! Thank you for making and posting them! They really are incredible! I am a 30 years old yacht skipper from Europe and have been in the USA twice now and hopefully someday I will sail those rivers and oceans. Also love the Fleming yachts, they are beautiful! Take care!

[@ameralgharaballi3516]

Simply Amazing. Thank you. I would love to cruise these waters someday

[@slycat1939]

Awesome trips. Your narrating is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your beautiful adventures with us. Be safe. God bless.

[@trumpetmano]

What an exciting and beautiful trip. You certainly know how to put the Fleming to good use. You make exceptional videos. Thank you so much for sharing your voyages with us.

[@lungarotta]

Excellent! So interesting and beautiful. Bravo.

[@SEANTSEANT]

amazing production! wow

[@lewislinzy3437]

Very pleasant music makes this even more enjoyable to watch. Good narration too.

[@joeshotsgarcia5138]

Thank you for sharing all the beautiful places on the Venture.

[@dinstar-as3228]

Very nicely done.. TY for sharing this beautiful journey along Vancouver Island.

[@benvolioT2]

That video is a salve for the soul. Beautifully crafted. You are an inspiration.

[@MrRavenski23]

I have seen quite a few of your videos on You Tube . These are some of the best documentories i have seen off the coast of Alaska and much beyond (. Iceland, Galapagos, Nova Scotia, Eulitians islands , etc. ). Thank you for sharing these stunning sceneries in these very professionally made videos.

[@miriamnaughton5331]

this is a wonderful insight to this great Island I`m glad to have seen it. thank you.

[@tinosenf6937]

A realy good Dokumentation! With best regards from Germany

[@brettendter4332]

Your videos are amazing! I started with the Catalina episode and now I am hooked. Makes me want to explore more on my boat through the Channel Islands and hopefully someday through the Columbia I’d we get a bigger boat like the Fleming.

[@tylero8595]

Ive been all over the world, the west coast of Vancouver Island is my favourite place.

[@derek77316]

I am from S.F. and have never been to Vancouver Island but feel I can almost say I have now. Great Video! Thanks.

[@nurulkabirkhan9677]

Amazing video! Felt like I was there in person. It would have cost me a bundle to undertake this adventurous journey. I should send you a small token of my appreciation for sharing this fascinating video. One thing I have to mention though, I was expecting to see swarms of salmon and varities of trouts in the transparent streams you navigated through. I was surprised to see none. Without these fish these islands couldn't hold my interest for long. You did a great job, TY.

[@dlfendel2844]

Tony--appreciate as always your cinematic artistry and understand the learning curve issues of upgrades and improvements. But as I once heard a famous cinematographer say at a seminar at the Director's Guild about "new technology" and digital cinema, "These are the tools, but THIS is the craft--you NEED the tools to DO the craft, but never confuse the two." Happily, no matter what system you're using, your wonderful eye and choices and style come through because they are your vision, not the camera's. Thanks for taking us all along on your voyages! (and may I say to those who have not read your book, they're missing the "bigger picture" of the Fleming that explored new vistas long before he could do it IN a Fleming, too!)

[@StewKelly]

I enjoy your videos so much Tony. Can't wait until the day I will be able to cruise those areas. Thanks for the heads up about your book. I am eager to read it.

[@nigelbutlerr7294]

Always wanted to go live on Vancouver Island,never made it,but thanks for the video on it.

[@tnt8092]

A part of Canada I’ve never been too, thanks for showing me how beautiful my country is..we forget sometimes in our daily life just what’s out there ..❤️

[@gradybryant3706]

Many thanks for such a beautiful and educational video . The production and editing qualities are to be commended . Thanks for sharing ................. Grady
