Entering the salon from the aft deck through the double doors you are immediately impressed by the spaciousness and ambiance. The soft, ultra-leather headliner and exquisite handmade teak raised paneled cabinets gives rise to feelings of warmth and relaxation. The nearly 19’ beam provides space enough for separate dining and lounging areas and great care has been taken to balance scale with function. The open floor plan of the salon encompasses the galley and dining area which can comfortably seat six.

Along the port side of the salon is a wet bar with a U-Line drink cooler/icemaker, granite counter, raised teak panel storage cabinets, and custom beveled etched glass storage cabinets overhead.

The accommodations layout features a central passage which has proved to be so desirable over many years in the Fleming 55. This layout contributes to an easy and convenient flow of traffic throughout as well as making it possible to appreciate the full length of the boat from forepeak bulkhead to transom. The arrangement provides a two-berth guest cabin to starboard, a VIP guest cabin to port and an en-suite master stateroom forward. The accommodations are dressed with teak and ultra-suede and offer great comfort and convenience without any steep stairs to negotiate.

Centrally located in the passage behind a sliding teak door is the full-sized Bosch Axxis washer & separate dryer. A wall-vac system with two outlets is strategically located to access the interior with a single, manageable hose.

The master stateroom includes a queen sized custom island berth with a recessed skylight overhead. A 24”  HD LCD TV is mounted above the fold up vanity while ample storage is accomplished via a large cavity underneath the bed that is accessed through a gas strut assist lift. Additional storage is found via his and hers hanging lockers, drawers, & book shelves.

Both master and two guest heads are exceptionally spacious with generous glass and stainless steel shower enclosures. Hansgrohe fixtures and granite countertops compliment the matching granite floor in the one piece molded fiberglass shower stall.

The port stateroom has twin berths with an additional upper pipe berth located outboard. A large hanging locker is forward of the berths and a vanity and mirror with ample storage is located inboard. The starboard stateroom features twin bunks. The upper bunk is a hideaway pipe berth. Hanging lockers and drawers provide ample storage for the longest of trips

The pilothouse is the nerve center of the vessel and can be completely separated from the activities throughout the rest of the vessel. It features a day-head to starboard and raised settee with compass rose inlayed teak table to port.

The forward console area has been designed to accommodate a full array of today’s modern electronics, and easy accessibility has been built in to allow for service and eventual upgrades. The electrical distribution panels are below the main controls and are hinged and illuminated for access and service.

Visibility forward and to port and starboard is excellent, and the two sliding doors open to the wide side decks. The traditional teak and holly sole is standard. There are large drawers and working space for charts, cruising books, and navigation instruments, binoculars, cell phones and chargers, log books, flashlights and everything else a captain needs to chart and follow a safe course. STIDD helm chair and a large stainless steel and teak destroyer wheel fits the ambiance of this ultimate cruising yacht.

In common with all Flemings, the hull is hand laid solid fiberglass reinforced with a grid of stringers and frames. Vinylester resin is used below the waterline with further protection provided by epoxy barrier coats. Shaft tunnels allow the draft to be kept low for Bahamas cruising while ensuring that the running gear is protected by a full-length keel which is foam filled and glassed across the top to isolate it from the hull.

Special attention has been paid to the ease and safety in which the heavy duty ground tackle is set and retrieved. The anchor platform accepts two anchors, each of which can be controlled by a handheld unit at the platform or by windlass controls at both the pilothouse and flybridge stations.

On deck she has the familiar walk-around decks we are used to seeing on all the Flemings and the high bulwarks and Portuguese Bridge provide security for both children and pets. The capacious cockpit has built-in seating with twin Cablemasters housed within. Docking controls are located starboard of the salon doors while additional storage is to port. Gasketed, lockable hatches provide access to the engine room and spacious lazarette.

The engine room is accessed from a hatch aft of the salon doors through the outside leading down to the oval, submarine-style, engine-room door with viewing port. Systems and engineering are a notable feature of all Fleming Yachts whose philosophy has always been to choose only the best equipment available for the job and make sure that it is readily accessible for maintenance. To achieve the extremely low sound and vibration that Flemings are known for, Aqua-drive shaft systems transfer the thrust directly to the hull and isolate the engine by using soft engine mounts.

The lazarette houses the water tanks, steering gear and air conditioning compressors while also leaving ample room for storing cruising gear such as spare anchors, rode, lines, fenders, and parts. Having the A/C compressors located here instead of in a hot engine room improves performance and efficiency and minimizes noise. Additionally, all battery isolation switches are accessible from outside the engine-room.

In summary, the Fleming 65 incorporates the best features from the 55 and 75 as well as the refinements resulting from twenty seven years experience in designing, building, and using the boats. There is a difference between a yacht and a boat which is hard to define but which is instantly recognizable to the true connoisseur. Like her sister ships, the Fleming 65 is a motor yacht in the most traditional sense.
