Fleming Yachts, established in 1985 by Tony Fleming, is a builder of widely acclaimed “ultimate cruising yachts”. Known for their timeless design, fuel efficiency, meticulous engineering, and robust construction, these semi-custom motor yachts are specifically designed for serious, owner-operated, long-distance cruising.

Our philosophy is to combine classic, low-profile designs with cutting-edge technology and engineering, focusing on safety, stability, and comfort for extended passages. Each yacht is built to RCD Category A ‘Ocean’ certification standards. The shipyard builds a relatively low number of highly personalized yachts each year, ensuring a focus on quality and detailed craftsmanship.

Key Features

Fleming yachts are distinguished by several core features:

  • Semi-Displacement Hulls: Designed for stability and fuel efficiency at lower speeds (around 10 knots for long range), while still capable of speeds over 20 knots for shorter passages.
  • Full-Length Keel: A protective keel extending below the rudders and propellers, with a stainless steel shoe for added security against accidental grounding.
  • Meticulous Engineering: Noted for exceptional build quality, sound insulation, and advanced systems like the Aquadrive vibration isolation system and the proprietary BONING or FirstMate monitoring systems.
  • Timeless Interior: Classic teak interiors are standard, with customization options available, creating an elegant and inviting onboard environment.
