That’s probably the nicest boat I’ve ever seen reviewed.
Built a solid trawler. Make more to sell, cruise the world, enjoy life. Tony had the right idea. Great walkthrough Jack. Thanks.
Fleming is one of the best yachts to work on. Ice cold AC in the engine room can’t be beat and can easily get around the engines.
Tony Your My Hero.
My favorite type of yacht, trawlers are awesome! :D
Such a nice boat. I really dig the thought put into things, like those mirrors in the engine room. So well laid out and engineered.
Great summary of a beautiful boat Jack! Quality of video and sound has improved substantially.
This is your best format so far! Short, to the point and easy to watch.
Good one guys!
Glorious Boat
That ridiculously overengineered hatch wasn't designed to prevent it from falling on your head it's meant as a railing to keep someone from accidentally falling into to it while it's open. Good video though hope you will be reviewing the other models in Fleming's range. 😊
Another exellent video Jack, beautiful boat, Flemming is one of the best.
Excellent presentation Jack !
Had the pleasure of viewing a Fleming 65, I’m not sure it gets better.
Fleming...! Top of the tops !!!
Really well shot video probably the best I have seen recently
Really nice, classy yacht. Nice tour
Excellent man. Thank you
I love Fleming's wood interior, it`s a timeless look. When I look at any yacht design from previous decades that's styled as modern, I think they age poorly. This boat will still be classy 20 years from now.
Miles better than Sunseeker thats become an over priced Fashion brand sadly
I think when I comes to a classic wood interior(and hull) Vicem takes the top spot.
Yep. Tons of manufactures who make "modern" yachts will look terrible in a few years. Love yachts like Grand Banks, Hatteras, Fleming
To all you afficionados of this 'Timeless wood look' i ask these questions;
Is every room in your home decorated with wood - EVERY ROOM? No, thought not. Is every room wallpapered with the same pattern - EVERY ROOM? No, thought not. Is every room painted the same colour - EVERY ROOM? No, thought not. Just think what you are saying please. I rest my case.
@@robertstancer4469 Fleming, Nordhavn, Selene, and Outer Reef sell a lot of boats. They obviously know their market.
Timeless.
That was a good showing, love the boat.
Really nice boat for eating the miles away. Superb quality too.
Another lovely boat .👍
Now that was a proper review!
A wonderful boat 👍
Лучшая яхта . Красивый , продуманный дизайн внутреннего пространства .
I'd love one of those..
the bridge can be shut off from the saloon at night and Jack comes out from the cabbins at 2.11
hats off to Tony Fleming for the design of the fleming range
Magic
For 65 ft boat, I must say the helm is extremely user friendly
Great video and NO cliches from Jack (eg “quintessential”).....
Wow !
Never been so early😍
We have a 56feet sailor-yacht, we are never discuss about the range! 🤣
Lucky!
Until there’s no wind 💨😂
I always say you can never have too much fuel onboard.... unless you’re on fire 🔥
I think so. Perfect balance in all except for the price...
Are you going to do a 24hr test on one of these?
Hoping to Find My North on a Fleming.
Locator Florida.
$5000 USD to fill the diesel tanks according to a Fleming 55 owner I know. He’s currently stuck in Panama.
Fleming 55, 1000 usg fuel capacity, Fleming 58 & 65, 1750 usg fuel capacity, Fleming 78 3000 usg fuel capacity.
5 grand for a thousand gallons of diesel sounds cheap compared to here, where it would be 6 grand.
Jaqui Greenlees Could be the price he pays in Mexico, and further south?
@@stevemagnuson7051 yup, cause it sure is cheaper there than here. :D
I thought this was about a 60km trip due to the title.
Lovey wish I had the money
4m !? When did fleming rised the price so friking much? If im not mistaking a 65 used to cost like 3-3.2m with the extras.
That wheel. It was designed to be steered with your feet, wasn't it?
Does this guy walk on his toes, or am I seeing things? Lol also the boat is cool.
One thing that turns me off this and many other 'trawler' yachts is the amount of wood on display in the cabins. Don't get me wrong, i love wood, just not so much of it. AND it is really a plain grained wood too. Just look at the Sirena 64, or the Navetta 64s' interior. Why does the Fleming, the Outerreef, the Selene all go for over the top wood, are they frightened of change? Just who is their interior designer, Henry Ford?
Here is the thing, when you are spending 4-5 mill on a boat, you can replace the wood with other materials, Fleming etc spec the boats like this as a starter and honestly, because it works. Boats flex, so does wood, plastics etc don't, that means lots of squeaks and rattles after a while.
More wood!
.....where?....
@@robertstancer4469 Yes
A boat I really wanted to see but the tour itself was too short and not nearly in-depth as we are used to from Nick. Sorry but he has taken boat tours to a new level.
Would have liked to see the engine room with a bit more headroom. Surely another six inches could have not been that difficult.
You could easily add enough to have full standing headroom, but there would need to be steps up to go into the salon from the cockpit, or transom to cockpit, side gates.
Fleming decided the lower headroom was the way to go to keep bridge clearance down. A Fleming 65 with radar arch down ( not possible with hard top ) can do the Great Loop with a max clearance of 19 feet, I don't think that it could make the 17 foot route, not quite. No other ocean crossing capable trawler will make the bridge clearances, they all have minimum 25 foot air draft even with masts lowered, some have an air draft of 38 feet which is double the max for the Great Loop. This also locks them out of a lot of places around the world since they are just to tall to enter.
Do the smaller motors provide better fuel efficiency and range?
You sacrifice top speed but gain in range. If you put the biggest engines in one and put the 2 on the same trip at the same speed, you will have more fuel left in this one at the end. If you go full throttle, the bigger engines will leave this one behind, but you will also burn far more fuel.
I would take the trade-off and get the smallest engines.
@@jaquigreenlees .
The most important number to consider with a high mileage motor yacht...engine hours.
500 hours is considered close to a refresh. 1000, you are looking at a major overhaul. You need to factor that cost into your assessment. 60,000nm at 12 knots is 5000 hours. She's well and truly due for a swap out.
@Ernie Tetrault An engine with 5,000 hours is a basket case, maintenance or not. Thats 2.5 times the earths circumference.
No way a Cummins will do 10000 hours or more without major work. They do that in trucks and tractors every day.
The engines must be pretty shit if they need replacing so soon.
@Ernie Tetrault Exactly! My Volvo XC90 has done 170,000 miles. Same engine; just oil and filters!
@Ernie Tetrault Marine engines are under a different load than road vehicles. There is no throttle off coasting. Its like they are pushing uphill all the time so they wear out much faster. The salty environment is also much more corrosive. The air taken into a marine engine is loaded with salt. It wrecks the oil and kills engines. A marine diesel engine would need to be reconditioned (Rings, bearings, head etc) after a max of 1500 hours and a replacement at 3-5000 hours. On a $60,000 engine thats very expensive. Most are adapted truck engines. A few like Gardiner, are designed as marine engines and last a lot longer. Marine engines that are based on car engines are typically gone after 500 hours.
Check out A Single Step at Fleming yachts channel. This amazing boat + stunning scenery very well shot + great narration = a great way to see the world when you cannot travel
I think Aquaholic has shown this actual boat. Not the same model, but the same yacht. She’s a real beauty isn’t she. Shame I’m a bit short of funds right now 😉otherwise I’d take her in a heartbeat.
Bagus, pengen bangeut punya buat nikmati masa tua
I have one question - is it 60,000 meters or 60,000 nautical miles? Big difference in distance.
Nautical Miles.
Can across the ocean this boat?
Please Lord, I Need a Home.
You forgot the N in the title.
4,000,000 $ we can get a boat a lot bigger and nicer looking, yet i don’t know why they absolutely love this boat over here in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and pay that price for her, she looks so simple to me
Ability to handle rough sea as a normal state of operation. Trawler design is at home in heavy ocean weather.
A bit like your brain...
This boat doesn't have 60000 nm range. More like 2k.
Great presentation. The interior looks like every other trawler. Rather boring given the price point.
IS THERE ANY Trawler / Boat / Yacht with NO WOODEN FINISHES. WOOD IS TOTALLY REDUNDANT, HEAVY AND NOT WATER PROOF. ????
65ft & 4 Million dollars doesnt get you a stand up engine room?! and thats after youve traversed a tight hatch that also doesnt have standing room and climb through the door.... ill keep looking. lol
4m is wayyyy too much for this boat.Its very good quality, but someone from the CEOs is day dreaming.Even more when you can get a double the size of that Nordhavn, build in the same country(Taiwan), probably even by some ex Fleming employees..Not to mention that you have to be a hobbit for that engine room.
4 mil Usd new, 1.5 second hand after 10 years..... luckily I never buy new..... complete nonsense!!!
I wouldn’t worry being 60km at sea in something a lot smaller. At 60,000 miles, I would most certainly worry in any boat as I would be trawling in make-believe land in a parallel universe where there existed an ocean more than 120,000 miles across.
Sorry, But Nick is best
Was just going to say this
Way overpriced
Exactly.For like 2.2m you can get a Nordhavn 63 which is even slightly bigger and you don't have to be a hobbit for the engine room.
What are companies like this going to do when all the elderly stop buying this style of vessel. The interior looks beautifully build but the wood looks old fashioned.
Young people grow old and what they appreciate changes with time. Admiration of the va va voom gradually becomes a liking of safety, craftsmanship and understated elegance
@@phedrob3735 Exactly, I am turning 50 next year, I am ordering a 55 2 years after that for my retirement. The wife and I spent 2 years looking at many different boats to travel the world on, we kept coming back to Fleming. My bosses boss has the 65 (as in the video) him and I took it from Honolulu to Los Angeles, 2 weeks at sea, no issues (not a new boat) and really, very comfortable. All the redundancies built in just give me that safe feeling. I can understand TheAughoti's point, it is certainly an "older" looking boat, but there is a reason there are long distance boats that still looks like this.....It works.
@@lvthud I've spent 25 years on sailboats but my days of climbing masts and hauling sail are now over. I've made the transition to power; a Nimbus 380 coupe. Swedish built, strong and with a touch of the traditional but still managing to thrill with up to 30kts. Not quite on the scale of your vessel but then we have UK weather to contend with. I wish you many years of calm seas and romantic horizons.
@@phedrob3735 Thank you so much, I actually started out with a Sabre 30 in the Solent, then moved over to the power side with a Princess. The weather is one of the reasons for going with a Fleming, as my bosses boss said "If it isn't a named storm, respect it, don't fear it"....
Better an old fashioned look than the souless, cold look of "modern interior design"
De Valk makes Trawlers with that, wouldn't pay a plugged nickel for the garbage interior.
