After the introduction of the 75 – now revised to be the Fleming 78 – at the start of the new millennium, there was strong demand in the market for a middle ground between the flagship Fleming 55 and the 75. Taking cues from both boats, the 65 boasts classic Fleming lines making it instantly apparent that she shares the same incomparable pedigree. The Fleming 65 provides expanded living and sleeping space yet offers superior visibility – a hallmark of the Fleming design – making her a popular choice for boaters seeking a larger vessel without the need for a crew. Added fuel storage makes the 65 the perfect option for long-range cruising.
Like the 55 and the 78, the Fleming 65 is low to the water allowing for exceptional ease of access dockside. While a notable 18’ 8” beam adds a significant amount of interior space, prop pockets keep the 65’s draft to just five feet with plenty of protection from the running gear to the bottom of the keel. Her interior takes many cues from the layout of the Fleming 55 which, with the added space, allows for additional customization of the accommodations and salon. Various stateroom and head configurations are possible, including triple en-suite stateroom layouts and mid-ship master variants.
A spacious salon offers an array of seating options for relaxing and dining, while the integrated galley is efficiently laid out; as perfect for preparing a quick bite as it is a gourmet meal. Large windows in the pilothouse provide superior visibility, a convenient day head resides to starboard, while athwartship a raised corner settee with table offers a comfortable place to gather while cruising. An expanded flybridge has a built-in barbecue, refrigeration and sink, more-than-ample storage, and a wrap-around settee with an expansive dining table – all arranged under a fiberglass hard top. With its increased size, the Fleming 65 remains Great Loop capable as its air draft can still get below the commanding bridge heights with the help of our BYS carbon-fiber hinged masts.
It is the first Fleming 65 produced (hull 65-001) which has been Tony Fleming’s personal vessel since she was completed. In his ongoing effort to push the Fleming 65 to the limits, Tony has cruised Venture more than 50,000 miles.
While the Fleming 65 stays faithful to the elegant lines of the 55, it is expansive enough to incorporate design features found on the 78 or 85. The 65 is a true standout as a superb pilothouse motor-yacht prepared for any encounter, yet nimble enough for a couple to comfortably operate.

A mid-ship master layout Fleming 65 with three en-suite staterooms. Inspired by the larger 85, this Fleming 65’s unique cockpit/California deck arrangement elevates the cockpit with a built-in settee and table – accentuated by the coverage of the extend boat deck overhead. This boat also boasts a clean, modern take on the Fleming 65 interior with flat-flush cabinets and horizontal teak grain throughout.
An alternate mid-ship master stateroom arrangement that better utilizes the full 18’8” beam of the boat. Other staterooms include a forward VIP cabin with a queen berth and bunks to the port side. This layout finds the accommodations access moved to the pilothouse with steps that lead down to a central lobby below.
This Fleming 65 is a great example of taking the classic Fleming Yacht layout and expanding upon it. The salon and galley shown here are very reminiscent of the 55 Fleming’s arrangement, even featuring the traditional central passage layout at the accommodations level. The standard cockpit here features a mounted central table and incorporates an extended aft boat deck above.
Showing off the spacious flexibility of the Fleming 65, this boat features a split salon with dual tables that create dedicated areas within the open floor plan. A corner bar and coffee table with a settee and armchairs is found to port. Then to starboard is a raised dining table with end chairs and another settee.
Another example of layout creativity within this Fleming 65. With a wet bar at the aft port corner, settees to either side, a dining table to starboard, and even a bar top built into the galley peninsula with accompanying stools. Down below, the accommodations feature the central passage layout with three en-suite staterooms and three heads.
All Fleming Yachts are semi-custom and vary in design from one hull to the next. The layouts below and virtual tours above are just examples of what is possible onboard a Fleming 65.
