Entering from the aft cockpit California deck you are immediately greeted with the capacious salon dressed in teak and utilizing a 21’5” 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. 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 topped bar featuring a Sub-Zero wine cooler, large refrigerated drawers, and glassware storage through three overhead cabinets. Moving forward along the port side of the salon is large L-shaped settee which wraps around to the edge of the galley counter top. Complimenting this settee is 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 a settee with a storage cabinet at the forward end. An entertainment cabinet is found to the aft corner of the credenza to starboard with a 65” Samsung HD TV and Sonos installed on a retractable lift.  The storage cabinet features drawers and cabinet doors that open to reveal pullout drawers for maximum storage without having to bend down to reach to the back of the cabinet.

The galley is tucked to the port side just forward of the salon, which is separated by a large wrap-around Silestone counter top and overhead galley cabinets. The inboard side of the galley features large drawers for easy access.  Within the galley you will find a full size dishwasher, trash drawer, a stainless steel sink with mixer faucet, a microwave over a Wolf induction cooktop with custom stainless steel pot holders, a stainless steel oven below the cooktop, and a full-sized teak faced refrigerator with matching freezer drawers beneath. Teak cabinetry fills in the rest of the galley and across to the opposing starboard side are two large slide-out pantries  and additional storage compartments and cabinets.

The accommodations are accessed primarily from the staircase on the starboard side of the pilothouse or alternatively from the direct salon access to the master stateroom.  Descending from the pilothouse lands you in the lobby. Here you will find the full-beam en-suite mid-ship master stateroom to aft, a guest stateroom to port, and a VIP stateroom at the forward peak.  Each guest stateroom has an ensuite head and shower. The full-sized Bosch washer & separate dryer can be found to the port side of the accommodations lobby just before the forward cabin and a linen closet is opposite.  The floor lifts to reveal a machinery space that provides access to critical systems onboard.

The mid-ship master stateroom takes full advantage of the full 21’5” beam and features a king sized island berth with a custom mattress. This arrangement allows for access from either side and the berth is equipped with a hydraulic lift that can be raised at either the foot or head of the berth 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 and include wall-mounted mirrors above. A dresser/bureau is found at the starboard wall and features large drawers, cabinetry, and shelving, as well as a large port hole above. To the starboard forward corner of the cabin is a capacious walk-in closet featuring louvered French doors and a hidden safe. Moving inboard from the closet is a separate hanging locker with storage drawer beneath. Facing the berth is a wall mounted Samsung QLED 43” HD TV with a Apple TV and Direct TV situated on the port side of the forward bulkhead.  Finally to the port side of the stateroom is a full length mirror and access to the en-suite master head.

The master and both guest heads are exceptionally spacious with generous glass and stainless steel shower enclosures. Silestone countertops compliment the matching floor in 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 has a heated towel rack.

The VIP stateroom to forward is composed of a queen sized island berth with a custom mattress and is surrounded by shelves, cabinets, drawers, and a hanging locker on both port and starboard sides. Similar to the island berth in the master stateroom, this arrangement allows for ease of access from either side and the entire berth can be raised with a hydraulic lift to access a storage cavity underneath. Over head is a skylight / escape hatch which, in addition to portholes to either side, provides natural light to the cabin.  The en-suite head for the forward cabin can be found to starboard.

A third stateroom is located to port and, like the rest of the cabins, is accessed from the accommodations lobby. This guest stateroom comes equipped with three twin-sized bunks. The overhead bunk outboard is capable of sliding out of the away to provide more space when not needed. A nightstand with shelving separates the two sets of bunks and a hanging locker with dresser drawers is found at the foot of the outboard berths. Further storage is accomplished via drawers beneath the bottom bunks and the en-suite head access is located to the forward wall of the stateroom.

The Fleming 78, 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. However, it 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. Overhead consoles provide additional space for instruments and speakers. Engine displays, electrical breakers, fuel management, and other on board systems are handled through the integrated Boning ship monitoring system.

To the aft of the port side resides a raised corner settee with a compass rose inlayed teak table provides a comfortable social or dining area with phenomenal visibility while underway. A day head can be found at the starboard side of the aft pilothouse wall. Steps down to the accommodations to are found to the forward starboard corner of the pilothouse, just adjacent to the console. To each side of the pilothouse is a sliding door that provides access to the walk-around side decks of the Portuguese bridge. A swinging navigators chair on the port side, a large stainless steel and teak-accented destroyer wheel and an Ultraleather covered Stidd helm chair in the center finish off the pilothouse of this ultimate cruising yacht.

The redesigned low profile classic flybridge is easily accessed from the central companionway from the pilothouse or by the step ladder in the cockpit. It features two bench seat Stidd chairs at either side of the flybridge which provides excellent visibility, particularly in close quarters and bustling harbors with its 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. A cushioned sun lounge is to the starboard of the flybridge console, which provides an excellent spot for kids or grand kids while underway.  Stepping down one level from the helm is a social area featuring a settee with twin mounted teak tables that leaf together for one large dining table or two cocktail tables with easy access and room for freestanding chairs.  Port side has a bar and settee. This Silestone topped bar includes a large counter top, a stainless steel sink, and an Isoterm stainless steel refrigerator drawer, and stainless icemaker. Overhead, two offset hardtops give coverage to the flybridge deck and are held up by the radar arch and stainless steel supports. The forward hardtop and arch in turn supports the custom hinge-able mast, domes, open arrays, and other instrumentation. Meanwhile a full flybridge enclosure with Seacrylic panels provides the bridge with further protection from the elements.  Reverse cycle air conditioning improves comfort from heat and humidity or takes the chill off a cool morning.

Both the flybridge and boat deck feature nonskid surfaces. Moving aft to the boat deck brings a Kenyon Texan grill and cockpit hatch to port. Centered on the boat deck is the tender and davit. This arrangement allows for launching of the tender from either side. A stainless steel handrail wraps along the edges of the boat deck and future kayaks or paddleboards can still find a potential home with the enormous amount of free deck space still available.

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 78 provides more headroom below the deck, allowing 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 lockable door along the port side.  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. Aft of the engine room, the 4th stateroom/crew area is split into two bunkrooms with a pocket door dividing them.  This allows a couple to utilize the space or two singles to have privacy.  Storage drawers and hanging lockers along with a Boning monitoring screen and a wet head with stainless sink round out the quarters. The lazarette found beneath the cockpit hydraulic 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 accommodation lobby. Much like with the engine room, all components and equipment within this below deck room are very easily reached and serviceable.
