Yacht tour of 2020 FLEMING 55 RAISED PILOTHOUSE.

In this yacht tour, we step inside a 2020 Fleming 55 Raised Pilothouse Motor Yacht. Our in depth boat walkthrough & boat review reveals a special boat built for long range cruising and built to the highest standards.
The Fleming 55 was first introduced in 1986, and since that time it has benefited from a rigorous program of evolution. There have been literally hundreds of improvements made, both big and small. While its legendary hull design remains essentially the same, today's Fleming 55 is a thoroughly modern yacht utilizing advanced technology, materials and construction methods. In 2019 construction of hull number 250 is well underway, making it one of the most successful production yachts in history.

WOW Scott you finally got a Fleming to tour. Great video mate. I really love Fleming, my fav is the 58 with the mid ship owners cabin. The engines are mounted on thick rubber washers and the shafts have PTO and are also encased in rubber essentially making them vibration free. All the mounting bolts are marked, so you can see if they need tensioning. The quality is second to none.

Hey Philip, to be honest I wasn’t extra be so taken with it…. I think the idea of owning a boat that you could go exploring on is just awesome. In the 1950s my grand father owned a handful of Whitsunday islands including some well known ones like Hayman. A dream I have is to explore them with my family on a boat like this

[@dwightelliott6073]

Thank you for a wonderful walk thru. Loved the way you took your time and described everything. Great job young man.

[@weloveboating]

Hi Dwight, that’s very kind of you to say that, I really appreciate your interest and support of my channel 😊👍 - Scott

[@gregmanders7172]

What a delightful ship. Love it.

[@weloveboating]

Hi there I’m really glad you enjoyed it thanks for supporting my little channel and helping it grow - Scott

[@pageant1fd]

Thanks for sharing as this yacht is a very special version for long range cruising. Perhaps you could gen up on the mech and tech systems as your channel grows. But good video so will subscribe. Cheers from Wales !

[@weloveboating]

@@pageant1fd Hi Frazer it’s great to hear from you, I really you taking the time to leave some kind words and suggestions too, Yrs it’s a good suggestion for long range cruising boats to spend more time on systems and more of the tech…I’ll make sure to bear that in mind. I’m doing a video soon of a Selene 66 so I’ll make sure to take your advice 😊👍 - Scott

[@Eadbhard]

An excellent tour of the Fleming, thank you! Personally, I'd prefer a Selene Raised Pilothouse over a Fleming, but that's just me.

[@weloveboating]

Hi there, I like the Selene boats….i did a walkthrough of a Selene 49 in case you haven’t seen it kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIWxaH2JZp58q6csi=CH1Zx7L4W78T8Q4F There is a larger Selene 65 on its way to Sydney and I’ve been invited to do a walkthrough on that soon 😊👍 - Scott

[@Eadbhard]

@@weloveboating I've seen it! That was the video which made me favour the Selene over the Fleming motor yacht. I''m looking forward to seeing your walk-through of the Selene '65...yes!

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous.

[@weloveboating]

Hey Simon ! I have to say I comsgtee….what a boat 😊👍 - Scott

[@rogerreed905]

Love it

[@weloveboating]

Hi Roger, I’m really glad you enjoyed this one too 😊👍 - Scott

[@rexpayne7836]

Great tour of a quality boat. Fleming have always been a good company. Great video. 🇦🇺🦘😊

[@weloveboating]

Thanks Rex, I think it’s probably my fav so far 😊👍 - Scott

[@weloveboating]

What do you think of this Fleming 55, does it tick all the boxes of a long range cruising motor yacht?

[@Philipk65]

Easy answer Scott, of course it does.

[@weloveboating]

@@Philipk65 hey Philip great hearing from you, yeah it’s a pretty nice one hey 😊👍 - Scott

[@Philipk65]

@@weloveboating It certainly is.

[@sharpy8010]

Pretty. Full displacement for cruising though imo

[@weloveboating]

@@sharpy8010 hi Sharpy good to hear from you. Have you watched the video I did of the Selene 49? I reckon you’d like that one 😊👍 - Scott

[@paton57]

Wish Fleming would bring a full displacement onto the market

[@weloveboating]

Yes that would add extra range and really allow for long long passages 👍

[@Fred-vy1hm]

@@paton57 Buy a Nordhavn or Grand Banks if you like full displacement, Fleming's are admired for what they are and sell faster than they can make them so why try to break into a market that doesn't fit the brand and already offers a myriad of quality choices.

[@brianfromflorida8816]

In the master cabin, that looks like air con.

[@weloveboating]

Hey there…. I reckon you’re spot on. Great call 😊👍 - Scott

[@toolman4816]

Beautiful looking boat, but was wondering about two things. First in the aft cockpit what's in the cabinet starboard side against the salon bulkhead, is it a docking station sink, or grill? Last thing was those drawers under both the wardrobes in the master, there wasn't any type of knobs on them, where they hidden or something, lol?

[@weloveboating]

@@toolman4816 hi again Mark, as always thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it. I’ll go back and see if I can remember what those lockers were….there was so much storage I barely looked at half of it 😊👍 - Scott

[@keithwest3699]

It’s a control station. Lots of the newer models have a 4th control station on the port aft area of the Flybridge. Haven’t watched the entire video yet so this one may have that too

[@jr-vj8dj]

You don’t seem to be well versed in boats… clear ac unit in master. Confusing engine room forward aft…..

[@weloveboating]

Hi there thanks for watching, yes if you’d watched my channel over the past year I’ve introduced myself as an enghuinit an expert like Nick (Aquahokics) or Jack(Yacht Buyer) both with decades of industry experience. The thing about KZbin is anyone is free to make content and it’s up to you who you watch. I’ve made it clear I’m on a journey … my suggestion respectfully is to watch experts if that’s your expo of viewing free content online. Regards Scott We Love Boating

[@MM-xw1jm]

It's a gorgeous boat but when there is so much gushing it gets rather tedious and I have trouble watching the whole video.

[@weloveboating]

Hey there great to hear from you, I’m sorry yes i can imagine how that would be tedious- I’ll need to practice some more restraint going forward. Thanks for some honest feedback 😊👍 - Scott

[@WOOD-BOOGER-lc4fl]

Is it a wooden hull??

[@weloveboating]

Hi there, no it’s not. 😊👍 - Scott

[@WOOD-BOOGER-lc4fl]

Beautiful Yacht still!❤​@@weloveboating

[@paton57]

GRP hull

[@weloveboating]

@@WOOD-BOOGER-lc4fl yup can’t disagree on that …wish I had the $ to own one 😊

[@rickwilliams5141]

An unprofessional video and audio presentation accompanied by weak and sometimes inaccurate technical details in what is called an "in depth walkthrough and boat review". Appreciate the effort but a lot of improvement is required if you want people to subscribe to your channel. The boat on the other hand.......well nobody can spoil a Fleming.

[@weloveboating]

@@rickwilliams5141 hi there Rick, thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave such a detailed critique, all your comments are always welcome here 😊👍 - Scott

[@petervanderhallen4833]

Really bad.

[@weloveboating]

@@petervanderhallen4833 can you offer specific examples to correct for next time please, this type of general criticism of free content is useless

[@rickwilliams5141]

@@weloveboating Lots of ums and ahs, pauses and repeats in the audio. A presenter needs to be a bit more fluid than we mere mortals or it becomes very annoying very quickly. Several rehearsal walkthroughs should be undertaken for obvious reasons but mainly to identify any unknow or unsure of equipment/systems. Eg, the air-conditioner fan and heat exchange element in one of the cupboards could have been correctly identified and named. Scott probably did a better job than I could have done but I am not trying to be a presenter on a KZbin Channel. Hope this helps:)

[@weloveboating]

@@rickwilliams5141 hi again Rick thanks for taking the time to expand and leave a lot of detail. I do appreciate that. Yes clearly I am a beginner that’s for sure. Learning as I go. The tricky thing with the Boat walk-through is usually they have to be done before the Boat show starts for obvious reasons and often there’s a very limited or small window to do them so rehearsals aren’t really possibleand often walking through the Boat for the very first time but in any case I have a beginners mindset and I welcome feedback and I know that overtime I’ll get better thanks again 😊👍 - Scott
