Fleming 55, SEA BREEZES

Broker’s Comments

A unique opportunity on the market, SEA BREEZES is the only Fleming 55 from 2011 available for sale, in a pristine condition – as new, with multiple options fitted such as a 30cm flying bridge extension, new gang way, second generator, watermaker, FLIR infrared night navigation, doubled navigation systems, four command stations and many others. She has had only one owner since she was delivered, with the same captain maintaining the vessel to a high professional standard.

The Fleming 55 is a well-proven raised pilothouse motor yacht designed for serious cruising. Her semi-displacement hull gives her great flexibility in performance. The Fleming 55 has a range of 2,000 nautical miles at 8 knots yet, with her standard Twin Cummins QSC 500hp common rail engines, she can attain a top speed of approximately 18 knots. Maximum sustained cruising speed is around 17 knots where her moderate deadrise provides an extremely comfortable ride. On longer passages, Fleming owners typically cruise at a very economical speed of 10 knots, where the typical fuel burn is slightly more than 10gph.

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 that has become the standard in the industry for its whisper quiet, ultra-smooth ride. Fundamental to this achievement is the use of Aquadrive anti-vibration drive systems.

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. While its legendary hull design remains essentially the same, today’s Fleming 55 is a thoroughly modern yacht utilizing advanced technology, materials, and construction methods. In 2019, construction of hull number 250 was well underway, making it one of the most successful production yachts in history.

Free of any incumbencies with the VAT paid, now the family is willing to let her go and is time for her to change the ownership.
