Fleming 85
To say that Fleming Yachts has a following is akin to saying the Beatles have a following—it’s an understatement of the highest order. With a tremendous amount of attention paid to construction and a level of finish that meets the demands of the most discerning yacht owners, this builder lands squarely on many boaters’ wish lists.
My introduction to Fleming has been through stories—many of which have appeared in this magazine—about the exploits. You have to respect a company owner who walks the walk, or rather, cruises the cruise. My biggest gripe with the company in recent years has been the lack of a new model to justify a test and extended cruise aboard myself. That looks to be changing with the company’s announcement of an 85-foot flagship in the works.
