Crew quarters below deck provides a head, crew laundry, crew kitchenette, and a fifth and six cabin, each with a twin-sized berth and a roll-out pipe bunk for 4 total crew berths.
Entering from the aft cockpit California deck you are immediately greeted with the capacious salon dressed in teak and utilizing a 20’6” beam. Featuring the timeless appeal of teak sole with holly accents, vast windows, teak cabinetry, luxurious ultra-leather headliner, and most importantly, an interior layout that balances form with function. Entertaining guests becomes an effortless experience with an open floor plan encompassing the salon and formal dining area.
Starting at the port side of the salon is a corner teak storage unit with an icemaker and wine cooler. Moving forward along the port side of the salon is large L-shaped settee complimented by a custom teak hi-lo table that can adjust in height to function as both a coffee or a dining table. The starboard side features another settee with a storage cabinet at the aft end. Centered at the outboard edge of this starboard settee is a 55” Samsung HD TV and soundbar installed on a retractable lift—when raised it provides a great viewing angle from the opposing port side settee.
Continuing forward on the port-side are various storage cabinet configurations. Meanwhile, forward of the port side L-shaped settee is the boat’s formal dining area. Consisting of a large extendable teak table, this dining arrangement can seat 6 to 8 guests. Additional storage and counter space is provided along the starboard outboard wall of the dining area. A day head is found forward of the salon and dining arrangement, at the transition threshold before reaching the forward galley.
With the Enclosed Bridge layout, the galley is pushed forward to occupy the space where the pilothouse would normally reside. Here the full-beam “country kitchen” galley arrangement can really stretch its legs with a full suite of appliances, plenty of countertop space including a central island, and a large wrap around dinette beneath the vast forward windows providing great scenic views. Within the galley you will find a dishwasher, a stainless steel sink double-basin sink, a microwave over the induction cooktop with custom stainless steel pot holders, a stainless steel oven below, and a full-sized teak faced refrigerator and freezer. Silestone counters, full pantries, and plenty of teak cabinetry completes the galley. Day head access is within close reach to aft and the galley acts as a central hub between the salon, upper pilothouse, and accommodations below.
The accommodations are accessed from the staircase at the starboard side of the galley. Descending from the galley lands you to the central accommodations passageway. Here you will find the full-beam en-suite mid-ship master stateroom with a king berth to aft, a three-berth guest stateroom to port, a two bunk cabin to starboard, and a fourth VIP stateroom at the forepeak with a queen berth. The full-sized Miele washer & separate dryer can be found to the starboard side of the accommodations passage just forward of the steps from the galley. The floor of the passageway lifts with a gas-assisted hatch to reveal a machinery space below that provides access to critical systems onboard beyond those found in the engine room.
The mid-ship master stateroom takes full advantage of the full 20’6” beam and features a king-sized island berth with a Tempurpedic mattress. This arrangement allows for access from either side and the berth is equipped with a hydraulic lift that can be raised to access a large storage cavity underneath, perfect for storing extra bed linens or keeping valuables out of sight. Nightstands equipped with drawers are situated to each side of the king berth, along with expansive hanging lockers. Access to the en-suite master head is found at the starboard side, along with a full-length mirror. To port is a 9-drawer bureau with portholes above providing natural light to the stateroom. Forward of the of the port bureau is access to the master shower along with a sink—this area is separate from the head at the opposite starboard side allowing further privacy within the cabin with this split head layout. A 43” HD TV is mounted at the forward bulkhead—facing the master king berth, and a Furuno TZ17X chartplotter is wall mounted at the starboard side of the king berth. From this stateroom, the central passageway continues forward leading to the rest of the accommodations.
The master and both guest heads are exceptionally spacious with generous glass and stainless steel shower enclosures. Silestone countertops compliment the one piece molded fiberglass shower stalls. Most of the heads onboard feature chrome sink and shower fixtures. Storage can be found through mirrored medicine cabinets, as well as teak cabinetry above and below the counter tops of the each head. Each head also features a wall-mounted heated towel rack.
The stateroom at the forward peak is considered the VIP cabin and includes a queen berth and en-suite head. Storage is found through drawers and hanging lockers at both port and starboard sides of the cabin. Over head is a skylight / escape hatch which, in addition to portholes to either side, provides plenty of natural light to the cabin. Access to the en-suite head for the forward VIP cabin can be found to port.
The guest cabin to port comes equipped with two twin-sized berths and a third overhead slide-out bunk, this stateroom also features a hanging locker and plenty of additional storage. Capping off the accommodations, the fourth guest stateroom is found to starboard and includes two bunks. This brings the total accommodations count to 4 staterooms, 7 berths—sleeping for 9, and 3 heads. These stats do not include the ship’s crew quarters
Note: bedspreads and décor have been replaced since photos were taken.
Crew Quarters:
Situated aft of the engine room, the crew area below deck is accessed by the same engine room hatch and steps from the California deck. The crew area consists of two cabins each with a twin-sized berth and overhead pipe berth for a total of two normal berths and four when including the pipe bunks. A crew head, a crew laundry area with separate washer & dryer, and a kitchenette top of the crew quarters. This crew kitchenette includes a sink, microwave, mini fridge/freezer, 2-burner induction cooktop, and storage.
The Fleming 85, as with all Flemings, features a dedicated pilothouse which takes the role as the primary location to control the boat without any distractions from other onboard activities. The Enclosed Bridge model takes this to another level by moving the pilothouse up to the enclosed upper deck. Superior 360 degree visibility is achieved at this raised vantage, while opening the rest of the vessel up to more creative layout arrangements. However, the pilothouse remains only a few short steps up from the galley which in turn acts as a central meeting point between the salon, accommodations, and pilothouse
Visibility forward and wrapping around to port, starboard, and aft is excellent. Below the expansive windshield are specially designed removable consoles which provide ample room for a full range of modern electronics and equipment. Engine displays, electrical breakers, fuel management, and other on board systems are handled through the integrated Boning ship monitoring system with its 15” touch display.
At the aft corner of the starboard side resides a raised corner settee along with a large teak table. A day head can be found at the port side aft corner. Just forward of the day head is a small countertop featuring storage and a refrigerator. Steps down to the galley are found to the forward starboard corner of the pilothouse, just adjacent to the console. To each side of the pilothouse, as well as directly aft, are doors that provides access to the exterior boat deck. A large stainless steel and teak-accented destroyer wheel and three Ultraleather Stidd helm chairs finish off the pilothouse of this ultimate cruising yacht.
With the with the raised pilothouse of the Enclosed Bridge model, this Fleming 85 does not feature a flybridge—however the aft boat deck area still closely resembles that of other Flemings. The nonskid boat deck can be accessed from the pilothouse by side doors or an aft door. Wing control stations are located by either side door and feature joystick controls. Port side brings an electric grill, hatch down to the cockpit level, and the aft docking station. Centered on the boat deck is the 15’ tender while the ship’s davit and two mounted Switlik life rafts reside to starboard. A stainless steel handrail wraps along the edges of the boat deck and future kayaks or paddleboards can find a potential home with the enormous amount of free deck space still available along the sides of the boat deck. At the top of the enclosed bridge is a carbon fiber hinged mast, various instruments & antennas, and solar panels.
In common with all Flemings, the hull is hand laid and solid fiberglass reinforced with a grid of stringers and frames. The enormous teak-decked swim platform extends beyond the waterline with a hydraulic lifting platform. This aft toy lift is perfect for mounting and deploying various small craft like sailboats or jet skis. Vinylester resin, which is used on the cabin sides, is also utilized below the waterline on the hull with further protection provided by epoxy barrier coats. A reasonable five and a half foot draft allows 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. This keel gives nearly a foot length of protection until reaching the running gear. Onboard, all exterior decks are comprised of natural teak and varnished teak cap rails and combing boards accent the bulwarks throughout.
On deck she has familiar walk-around decks found on all Fleming models; in combination with high bulwarks, a Portuguese bridge, and full length handrails—security for both children and pets is ensured. The cockpit includes a raised California deck that can be accessed from either side and sports a large settee and teak table, creating a phenomenal dining and entertaining area. To port of the salon doors is a cockpit sink and step ladder up to the boat deck above, meanwhile the ship’s engine room access is found to starboard of the salon doors. Each aft corner of the cockpit has a raised platform with warping winches and the transom features a large gate that swings in to allow ingress to the expansive swim platform. A hatch at the cockpit deck gives access to the lazarette below. Additional storage is located along the cockpit, aft of the California deck settee, with gas assist struts to lift the fiberglass hatches. To the either side of these cockpit storage hatches are aft control stations featuring joy stick controls.
Moving forward along the side decks you will discover entry gates on each side. These gates provide lower entry close to the water line, meanwhile additional gates on either side of the raised Portuguese bridge give the option for a higher point of entry. The Portuguese bridge provides great dock line storage through hatches along the interior. Up to the bow will bring you to the teak foredeck which incorporates a raised fiberglass non-skid section to the center. This raised foredeck platform includes multiple gas-assisted hatches with large storage cavities beneath, great for awkward items such as spare shore cords or boat hooks. 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 with two winches, each of which can be controlled by a handheld unit at the platform or by windlass controls at both the pilothouse and flybridge helm stations.
Superior systems and engineering are key elements for Fleming Yachts, whose philosophy has always been to choose only the best equipment available and have it be readily accessible for maintenance. The 85 allows for a true standup engine room which gives plenty of room to service the twin 1800 horsepower MAN V-12 diesel engines. The main engine room access is from an outside hatch along the starboard side of the California deck. To achieve the extremely low sound and vibration that Flemings are known for, Aqua-Drive systems transfer the thrust directly to the hull and the engine is isolated by using soft engine mounts.
The lazarette found beneath the cockpit hatch houses the water tanks and steering gear while also leaving room for additional storage opportunities. Further mechanical equipment is housed with the machinery room located to forward of the engine room. This machinery room is access by a large hatch found at the floor of the accommodations passageway. Much like with the engine room, all components and equipment within this below deck room are very easily reached and serviceable.
Crew Quarters:
Situated aft of the engine room, the crew area below deck is accessed by the same engine room hatch and steps from the California deck. The crew area consists of two cabins each with a twin-sized berth and overhead pipe berth for a total of two normal berths and four when including the pipe bunks. A crew head, a crew laundry area with separate washer & dryer, and a kitchenette top of the crew quarters. This crew kitchenette includes a sink, microwave, mini fridge/freezer, 2-burner induction cooktop, and storage.
