The Fleming 65 was introduced in mid 2005 in response to a strong demand for an intermediate Fleming between the 55 and the 75. Her layout is very similar in concept to the 55 but the 65, being around 70% larger in displacement, offers much more interior and deck space than her smaller sibling. Fleming Yachts decided to retain hull number 1 to evaluate her design performance as a well-found cruising yacht as well as providing a test bed for new equipment. Since commissioning she has cruised, with Tony Fleming aboard, more than 10,000 miles along the coast of North America from La Paz, Mexico to Juneau, Alaska and back again. Plans for the new year include an extended cruise to the Galapagos Islands, then transit the Panama Canal and head for the East Coast of America.
We are very proud that a panel of thirteen judges from the Internationally respected 'Yachts' magazine voted the Fleming 65 best yacht in her class, worldwide, for 2006. Tony Fleming and his daughter Nicky, went to Cannes to receive the trophy.
As of October 2007 14 Fleming 65’s have shipped from the yard in Taiwan who have built every Fleming yacht since they were introduced in 1985. The yard builds exclusively for Fleming.
