They're two different boats. The Fleming is a power trawler. It normally cruises at trawler speeds but can get up and go (18 knots to 20 knots) if necessary. The Nordhavn is just a pure trawler.
Congrats on getting these tour vids, nice to see the channel grow. I think this is the sweet spot in the Fleming line for me, smallest one with a stand up engine room.
The F58's engineering and design are of a higher level for a reason and that is Fleming got naval architects Norman R Wright & Sons of Brisbane to do all the work. To me (I'm originally from Brisbane) the engine room looks like a typical NRW&S design. NRW&S have over 100 years experience designing and building these trawler style cruisers. The F58 was so successful Fleming has now commissioned NRW&S to do the design and engineering for the new F85.
The Fleming…. My partner and I both fell in love with this brand for live aboard, so well laid out and great safety in all areas both inside and out for our family. We liked the fact you wouldn’t be living on top of one another and the fact if the weather did turn you wouldn’t feel as worried as on some trawlers we looked at…. The systems are all backed up, everything is labelled, and flemings back up is brilliant…. We are still looking but Fleming as a brand and the UK team in the Solent have put them to the top of our list…. Great tour 👍🏻
Great video. I have watched this a couple of times now. Do you think you will be getting access to the new Fleming 85 any time soon? I would be great to see the closed in bridge version to see how much more space is achieved for indoor living. That would be my ideal live aboard. Thank you.
One thing I noticed that I’m ‘splitting hairs’ At 07.10 the transom door looks like it’s shaped where if a wave ‘pooped’ you in a following sea, the door could burst open (held closed by what looks like one bolt latch) If the door was angled the other way, the wave would force the door closed rather than open. Like a non-return valve in essence. I’m watching this video because it’s my dream boat, and when I win the lottery, will be straight on the phone to Flemming 😁
Sorry bro, u forgot to mention basic weaknesses in the engine room. No engine rail guards, engine room high issue, plus Fleming founder had cat engines which Vompany has now replaced with Cummins, obviously not the same quality. I believe they charge far more then what should be the actual price of any Fleming yacht
7:04 Those anti-chafing pads (cleated, no less!) for the fenders are something else...is that strictly a Fleming thing? Or are they 3rd party? Pretty cool.
It would be interesting to see a video on the buying process. At home, we all watch these awesome boat videos. What if i wanted to buy this boat. is it just a simple phone call and a suitcase of cash? lol. Or is there a long drawn out process to seal the deal? Id love to know
Depends on whether you're ordering it new, or buying it used. Wait time is probably 18-24 months these days; they only build 15 yachts a year total across 5 models, and they probably only have one hull mold for each size so there's a limit to how many of any given model they can crank out annually. If the build slots are already spoken for, you can only take a number. They'll customize whatever is flexible, but there are only certain floor plans and certain aspects are boxed in.
I remember my father's 40ft sport fishing boat, built in 1945, the engine room was a lay down space with grease everywhere! New boat are much easier. This is a ship I could live on.
Hi Yacht Buoy, Given a choice, and money not being an issue, which would be your personal choice of yacht to own between Nordhavn, AllSeas, Fleming and Bering?
After seeing the substandard build quality on their flagship N120, I lost most of the respect I had for Nordhavn. Couple that with their preference for single engine designs, and it’s a hard pass.
Not sure if I like Fleming or Marlow better but I'd like to find out which. I know who's documentary cruising videos I like best so that may sway me. The 65 or 80 ftr. Would be even more to love.
Two issues with this vessel. It needs an enclosed bridge (with a hard top). The lounge area is designed as a big dining room. The are needs to be configured with more/better “living room” type seating.
It's not that I don't know the Flemings are extemely gorgeous boats with almost the entire system being back-uped for long-term cruising. But sitll 3.5M is too much for a 60-footer.
What's more amazing is that you can spend that much fairly easily on many center console boats with a few 75, 000 each outboards hanging off the back. If I'm spending this kind of money to boat I at least want the option to get out of the rain. Not to mention pumping thousands of dollars in fuel every time you leave the dock. Most don't intend on paying it off anyway. Just 20 or 30 grand a month in interest and let the principal ride till you trade her.
As a long time fan of Hatteras boats, the Fleming has made me rethink the possibilities in cruising vessels.
That is a gorgeous boat!!
The Fleming 58 is #1 of my top 5 “I want that vessel list”, just ahead of a Hardy 65. Nice Video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving a comment
Thanks!
Thanks again for the SuperThanks! I appreciate the support!
Very well presented I must say. Not one cabinet or drawer opened, much less every single one. Great job.
😂 thanks for the feedback - glad you enjoyed the video 🙌 I have never been one to go down peoples drawers
Just a stunning boat! I think this would be a tough call between this and a Nordhavn. But i must say the Fleming seems a bit more Classy .
Having worked on both types I'd have to give the quality edge to Fleming but both are superb Yachts.

Fantastic,immaculate boat. Pride of ownership shows.
Thanks for watching the video and for leaving a comment 🙌
Love the layout.Looks like a great yacht.
Joy stick control on the helm seat, the mark of a true and proper yacht.
Be happy, be safe

I love my Fleming 58.
They are fantastic boats 🙌
We are talking here of the classy and best boat of s kind! A kind of Rolls Royce very much on the top of the others!

I would like to know, what are the significant improvements made by this architect over the popular F55.

Amazing boat ! Superb in all sense! A dream much ahead of the Brazilian current exchange rate to the dollar !
Thanks for the walk about.

Thank you 🙌
Nice boat looks very shipshape and ready for the blue!
It was in amazing condition - esp that engine room!
@@YachtBuoy Yep engine room is sweeett!! 👀
This is a great boat.

Send more videos on Fleming Yachts
Both helm stations should have the same layout
7:04 Those anti-chafing pads (cleated, no less!) for the fenders are something else...is that strictly a Fleming thing? Or are they 3rd party? Pretty cool.
They're available on line, not just a Fleming thing.

Thanks for watching the video and great question! I will start to think about putting a video together to answer this question.

Were there any areas on the boat without don't touch, don't use, signs on it?
Almost perfect ship. If it was steel instead of wood it would be perfect.👍
The boat is made from fiber glass not wood.
Hi Yacht Buoy, Given a choice, and money not being an issue, which would be your personal choice of yacht to own between Nordhavn, AllSeas, Fleming and Bering?
Good question! I would need to step aboard the AllSeas, Bering and Nordhavn before making a choice thou (armed, of course, with my GoPro) 😁
Me personally ....Bering 80 towing a 32ft hysucat
I could live on that
Wondering if you have any videos showing the F58 on the hard so we can see the bit s and bobs that are under the water of this really nice yacht?
I don’t 🥲 not yet anyway!
I really liked the trawler yacht ( but the price tag was a bit more than I could afford @ $7 million
For me, and I know that Fleming’s have an awesome heritage and following, but I’ll take a Nordhavn all day long. Especially for the amount of money.
After seeing the substandard build quality on their flagship N120, I lost most of the respect I had for Nordhavn. Couple that with their preference for single engine designs, and it’s a hard pass.

There's no reason to enclose the bridge. There's a wheelhouse.
When you buy your one ,you can design the interior to your liking.

Great video! Thanks ... what is the range of this boat?
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. I will double check and get back to you
Woodwork like on the Selenes.
In my dream on moments, I can't make up my mind between Fleming or Nordhavn. Of course, I'd want to self crew. What's everyone else think?
Has She Sold Yet?
I’m not sure 🤔
It's not that I don't know the Flemings are extemely gorgeous boats with almost the entire system being back-uped for long-term cruising. But sitll 3.5M is too much for a 60-footer.
One has to remember that the government wants their cut and in the UK that's 20%!
