Testimonials

Motorboating and Sailing

"I am convinced that no production yacht is as perfectly suited to fulfilling the requirements of extended-range, liveaboard cruising under power as the Fleming 55".

Pacific Yachting

"She moves and murmurs like an oceangoing Rolls"

Yachting Magazine

"A home away from home. Attention to detail raises the ante for this long range cruiser".

Sea Magazine

"The hull slides almost wakelessly through the water and engine vibration is practically nil. As a result the loudest sound inside the boat is the rush of water past the hull."

Power and Motoryacht

"We sway like horsemen on the flying bridge in a smooth galloping motion, riding together through the deep blues and whites of the sea. I mean, how is it possible to have a better time?"

Sea Magazine

"To say the boat is well engineered is a vast understatement. It is exceptional"

Motorboat and Yachting

"The Fleming is, even at maximum speed, uncannily quiet and almost totally free from vibration".

Passagemaker Magazine

"The beautiful Fleming 55 is a paragon of modern boat design and attention to detail. Appointed in a traditional yacht manner with teak decks and trim, the Fleming is nonetheless a thoroughly modern boat using the latest technology. The result is a very capable cruising motoryacht with all around ability."

Yachting Magazine

"Today the Fleming 55 is considered one of the finest serious cruising yachts in her class."

Motorboating and Sailing

"In short, the Fleming is a cruiser's cruiser which is superbly suited to the job she is designed to do".

Motor Boat and Yachting

"But it (the deep keel) ensures that low-speed maneuvering is precise and predictable - the 55 was incredibly easy to dock."

Motor Boat and Yachting

"Whatever type of boating you do, the wish list for your perfect boat would probably read like this: a spacious and airy interior, unsurpassed engineering, sure-footed handling, monumental construction, and a superb finish. You might also fancy a boat that's extraordinarily quiet inside and out, with acres of safe and secure teak laid decks. Of course, you wouldn't dare ask for a bargain price as well. That the Fleming 55 would fulfill all your wishes and is outstanding value for money is extraordinary. It has been around for years, but it remains a benchmark that few other boats can approach. Boat of the year? Boat of the decade, more like."

Motor Boat and Yachting, July 1999

"That sheer, that flare, that Portuguese bridge...we're in 'little ship' country here, whose devotees demands a certain invincible solidity from their yachts, and the calm reassurance that comes from a great weight of hull moving implacably through the water. Not since Grand Banks introduced the Alaskan in the early 1970s has such a combination of massive construction, long range, superb engineering and voluminous accommodation been brought together in 55ft. And never with more elegance. Lower in profile and much prettier, the Flemings are a refinement of that Alaskan ideal, and the 55, by a slight margin the longest of the range, is the prettiest of the lot".

Baatmagasinet, May 1999

"The boat runs so quietly that the only noise one hears is from the sea running along the hull sides. The technical arrangements on board are so well thought through and so properly executed that we have difficulty in seeing how it could be done better."
