Crew quarters below deck provides a head, crew dining, crew kitchenette, and a fourth and fifth cabin, each with berth, for 2 total crew berths.
Entering from the aft cockpit California deck you are immediately greeted with the capacious salon dressed in teak and utilizing a 21’2” beam. Featuring natural teak sole with holly accents, vast windows, teak cabinetry, luxurious ultra-leather headliner, and most importantly, an interior layout that balances form with function. Dining and entertaining guests becomes an effortless experience with an open floor plan encompassing the salon and galley. This layout allows for an open social environment while keeping the function of the galley separated from the rest of the salon.
Starting at the port side of the salon is a corner teak storage unit followed by a free-standing settee. Forward of the port settee, the galley’s countertop peninsula provides separation from the salon, with the salon side of the counter incorporating a high top bar with two freestanding bar stools.
The starboard side features another freestanding settee with a storage cabinet at the aft end. Forward of this starboard settee is a wall mounted 56” Samsung HD TV. Complimenting the starboard settee is a freestanding coffee table along with two armchairs. Note that both of the salon’s settees are freestanding and not built into the boat, this allows for modular furniture to be used within the space for added layout flexibility.
The galley is just forward of the salon, separated by a Silestone counter top that doubles as a high top with two bar stools. Within the port side of the galley you will find a dishwasher, a stainless steel sink, a microwave over the Miele induction cooktop with custom stainless steel pot holders, and a stainless steel oven below. The galley continues to starboard with a full-sized teak faced refrigerator and freezer, along with a coffee bar arrangement that includes an icemaker, wine cooler, & separate beverage fridge. A large pantry is situated inboard of the full-sized refrigerator, along with a central slide-out pantry between the accommodations and pilothouse stairways.
The accommodations are accessed from the central staircase straight down from the galley/salon area. This 85 takes layout inspiration from the tried and true central passage layout of the Fleming 55. Here you will find two identical guest cabins mirrored at each side of the passageway, each featuring their own queen berth and en-suite head. The floor of the passageway lifts with a gas-assisted hatch to reveal a machinery space that provides access to critical systems onboard. Moving forward down the central passageway, the full-sized washer & separate dryer can be found centered at the end behind a louvred door. A door to the port side of the washer & dryer leads to a office and dressing room area that acts as a transition room to the en-suite master cabin with a king berth at the forepeak.
The master stateroom to forward features a king-sized island berth that 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. Over head is a skylight / escape hatch which, in addition to portholes to either side, provides plenty of natural light to the cabin. Hanging lockers with drawers at either side of the master cabin, along with an expansive 3-door hanging locker above the headboard, provides plenty storage for the stateroom. Facing the king berth is a wall-mounted 50” HD TV, to starboard of which is the cabin’s en-suite master head. At the port aft corner of the master stateroom is access to an office/dressing room. Here a large desk with mirrored vanity is surrounded by various storage options and another large hanging locker. This office area acts as a transitional room between the master and the central passageway, giving another layer of privacy from the rest of the accommodations.
Mirroring each other at either side of the central passageway are the two identical guest cabins. Each of these robust staterooms include a queen berth, desk, hanging locker, wall-mounted 43” HD TV, and a dedicated en-suite head.
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, as well as heated towel racks. Storage can be found through mirrored medicine cabinets, as well as teak cabinetry above and below the counter tops of the each head.
The Fleming 85, as with all Flemings, features a dedicated pilothouse which takes the role as the primary location to control the boat. Privacy doors between the pilothouse and galley can be closed to prevent distractions from other onboard activities. However, the pilothouse remains only a few short steps up from the salon & galley and it is only a short flight of interior steps up to the flybridge.
Visibility forward and wrapping around to port and starboard 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.
To the aft port side resides a raised corner settee along with a mounted teak table—providing a great social area while underway. A day head can be found at the aft starboard corner of the pilothouse. To each side of the pilothouse are large ship-style doors providing access to the walk-around side decks of the Portuguese bridge. A large stainless steel and teak-accented destroyer wheel and three Ultraleather Stidd helm chairs finish off the pilothouse of this ultimate cruising yacht.
The low profile open flybridge is easily accessed from the central companionway from the pilothouse or by the step ladder in the cockpit/California deck. The helm is to port and the flybridge features two forward-facing bench seats at either side, providing superior visibility, particularly in close quarters and bustling harbors with an excellent 360 degree view. The electronics console is large enough to house an array of state of the art equipment, featuring two navigation monitors plus the Boning monitor arrangement. Port side of the flybridge is a social area featuring a large U-shape settee with a mounted teak table that is capable of folding out for more space when dining. Port side includes an additional settee, small table, and a refrigerator with Silestone countertop above. Both settees offer robust storage options beneath the cushioned seating. Overhead, a fiberglass hardtop gives coverage to the flybridge deck and supports the custom hinged carbon fiber mast, open arrays, and other instrumentation. A full flybridge enclosure provides the bridge with further protection from the elements.
The flybridge includes teak decking with the aft boat deck featuring non-skid. Moving aft to the boat deck brings a electric grill, hatch down to the cockpit level, and aft docking station to port. Centered on the boat deck is the 15’ tender with both davit and two Switlik life rafts 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.

Features:
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 jet skis or even just lowering as a swim off platform. 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 natural 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 step ladder up to the boat deck above, meanwhile the ship’s engine room access is found via hatch to starboard of the salon doors. To aft, each 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 platform to center. This raised foredeck platform includes multiple gas-assisted hatches with large storage cavities beneath, great for dock lines and 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 1550 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—accessed through a interior hatch at the accommodations passageway. 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:
Aft of the engine room, the crew area is accessed by the same hatch and steps leading down from the California deck. The crew area consists of two cabins with a berth in each (HMC System 3 mattresses), a crew head, kitchenette, and a dining area with a large settee, table, and wall-mounted 33” HD TV. This crew kitchenette includes a sink, microwave, mini fridge, butcher block counters, and storage.
