Who would say No! to the offer of a ride on a Fleming 55??.......Not us!
Ben's dad is the proud owner of this gorgeous yacht. This boat is the reason we have our Grand Banks right now! We bought his Grand Banks when he bought his Fleming.
Fleming is a luxury cruising yacht founded in 1985 by a gentleman named Tony Fleming. Tony Fleming used to work for American Marine (builder of Grand Banks Trawlers) and helped develop the Grand Banks and later what is called the "pilothouse yacht", the Alaskan.
I would say he took a great boat, the Grand Banks of course, and tweaked it here and there to form the beefy yet gorgeous Fleming.
We had 4 adults and 3 dogs and not one of us complained. The weather was spectacular! We had dolphins seeing us off!
I got to see Ben as a deck hand instead of the captain. Of course he made it look easy coming into dock!
Always a great day when you can go for a boat ride, even better when the boat belongs to someone else!!!
