Well equipped to go cruising she has three staterooms, custom hardtop, and cockpit awning. Cummins 450hp Diamond series engines with 2800 hours, bow thruster, stabilizers, new Raymarine multi-function screens.
The Fleming 55 is a well-proven raised pilothouse motoryacht designed for serious cruising. Her semi-displacement hull gives her great flexibility in performance. The Fleming 55 has excellent range at 8 knots yet, with her standard Twin Cummins engines, she can attain a higher top speed if needed. Her moderate deadrise provides a comfortable ride unlike those boats for which speed is the main design criteria.
The Fleming’s deep keel provides protection for the running gear and stability in following seas. Because noise and vibration contribute to fatigue, Fleming has paid special attention to producing a yacht which has become the standard in the industry for its whisper quiet, smooth ride.
The Fleming 55 was first introduced in 1986, and since that time it has benefited from a rigorous program of evolution. There have been literally hundreds of improvements made, both big and small. It’s legendary hull design remains essentially the same, making it one of the most successful production yachts in history.
