FLEMING PILOTHOUSE MOTORYACHTS: Chuck Hovey Yachts is the original and exclusive West Coast Dealer for Fleming Yachts which now include the 55', 65' and 75' models. We delivered the first Fleming in 1986 and then continued the same tradition with commissioning and delivering the first retail Fleming 65 and Fleming 75. Whether a new or brokerage Fleming is of interest, Chuck Hovey Yachts has the experience to guide you through the purchase or sale process.

FLEMING AND CHUCK HOVEY YACHTS - HISTORY: Chuck Hovey Yachts (CHY) is the original Fleming dealer and was instrumental in the inception of the Fleming Pilothouse Motoryacht back in 1985. Chuck Hovey had the first Grand Banks and Hatteras dealerships on the west coast and the Fleming became the natural progression. CHY stocked and sold several of the initial models of the Fleming 50, 53, 55, 65, 72 and 75. Our customer feedback and hands-on experience has contributed to the continuous refinements enjoyed today by Fleming owners worldwide.

FLEMING AND CHUCK HOVEY YACHTS - PRESENT: Chuck Hovey Yachts has offices with display slips and service managers located in Newport Beach, California and Seattle, Washington. We commission our NEW Fleming yachts at either of these two locations, however are set up to service and support your yacht just about any place your cruising takes you. Our NEW Fleming efforts are focused on our regions which encompass the entire western United States including the Pacific Northwest, California, Texas and Mexico.

FLEMING AND CHUCK HOVEY YACHTS - FUTURE: Our successful practice for our NEW Flemings is to have as many options completed by the factory as possible, prior to shipping, which greatly simplifies the commissioning process of your boat and also decreases the wait time for local installed options to be completed. Our Flemings come from the factory with options already installed such as bow thrusters, stern thrusters, stabilizers, hard tops, anchor, chain, underwater lights, underwater cameras, prop-speed, kelp cutters, electronics transducers and come pre-wired and pre-plumbed for the water makers and bait systems. When your boat arrives the local installed option list is short and simple, normally including a custom interior décor soft goods package designed especially for your boat to your individual taste, the installation of the water maker (already factory pre-wired and pre-plumbed), a dinghy (power rotating dingy davit already factory installed), the installation of the audio visual package (again already factory pre-wired) and the installation of the electronics navigation package. CHY has believed from the beginning that yacht electronics are a specialty unto themselves and therefore require experts dedicated solely to that field. Electronics are unique to each individual owner’s requirements and that is why it is absolutely necessary that we rely on our trusted network of electronic equipment specialists to directly advise, install, train and support the rapidly changing complexities of navigation electronics for our valued clients. CHY passes through all of the local installed option prices direct to our clients at dealer cost without mark-up, and provides copies of all local installed option original invoices for the owner’s records. The CHY NEW Fleming purchase process is simple and ensures peace of mind. A simple deposit together with the Purchase Agreement reserves your Fleming hull number position, then the balance is due only after your yacht has safely arrived at our office ready to be commissioned by our expert service department.

NEW FLEMING AFTER SALE SUPPORT: Chuck Hovey Yachts commissions, outfits and delivers our NEW Fleming yachts at either of our two offices. Our service managers ensure that the offload, commissioning and outfitting process is efficient and that the local installed options are completed to the highest levels and in a timely manner. During the vessel orientation process you are completely checked-out on the boat systems and handling, ensuring that you are familiar with the yacht and comfortable to begin cruising with confidence. During the vessel shake down and warranty support period we ask that the boat cruise in our geographical regions which encompass the entire western United States including the Pacific Northwest, California, Texas and Mexico.

PURCHASING A BROKERAGE (Used) FLEMING? Whether the Fleming is located at our display docks or on the other side of the world, CHY has the experience to handle the complexities and details of your Fleming Yacht purchase. Logically the best yacht broker to utilize for the purchase or sale of a used Fleming is Chuck Hovey Yachts, as we have represented Fleming Yachts since hull#1 of the Fleming 50, 53, 55, 65, 72 and 75. We track the re-sales and continuous refinements by hull and model number and advise our buyers accordingly. We understand that buying a used Fleming is multifaceted and we pass along our Fleming education to prospective buyers. We also welcome current Fleming owners, even if you purchased your boat elsewhere, to the Fleming family and encourage you to contact us for any service, support, consultation, factory part orders or just to be included on our Fleming owner mailing list.

SELLING A BROKERAGE (Used) FLEMING? We have over 50 years of experience selling brokerage boats of several makes and models in many countries. If the decision has been made to sell your Fleming and to place her on the market, then time is money, especially when factoring in the carrying costs associated with a boat which is no longer being cruised. The tried and true method of selling your yacht for the highest possible price net to you, in the shortest amount of time, is to expose it to the boat buying public through our advertising and internet marketing program and terrific client following. Another key component to this success is to include the 2,500+ strong yacht brokerage network belonging to the shared multiple listing services worldwide, and to the potential buyers this represents. CHY has a great reputation of working well with cooperating yacht brokers. For our brokerage sales we take care to educate any potential buyers and outside brokers on the distinctions of the Fleming and we insist on the proper sales protocol during the selling process. We place our brokerage Fleming Yachts on the www.yachtcouncil.com and www.yachtworld.com multiple listing services and make sure that they are priced in line with the industry standard commission structure. CHY is a member of the (CYBA) California Yacht Brokers Association and the (NYBA) Northwest Yacht Brokers Association and we are licensed and bonded in California and Florida. Please call or email for a Fleming plan tailored to your specific boating needs.

This boat has recently completed the outfitting process with the latest state of the art navigation electronics, entertainment center, interior décor, watermaker and other accessories which include a bow and stern thruster, boat deck and cockpit control docking stations, power rotating dinghy davit, dual fresh water pumps, second generator, underwater lights, cockpit freezer, factory hardtop, BBQ, hydraulic opening and sliding owner’s stateroom bed, VIP guest stateroom layout, and other factory options necessary for long range cruising.

FLEMING 55- The Serious Cruising Yacht! The Fleming 55 is a well-proven raised-pilothouse motoryacht 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 500 hp common rail engines, she can attain a top speed of approximately 20 knots. Maximum sustained cruising speed is around 17 knots where her moderate deadrise provides a comfortable ride unlike those boats for which speed is the main design criteria. These high speed, planning hulls require flatter sections making for a hard ride and the need to slow down in a seaway. On long passages, Fleming owners prefer a more leisurely and economical speed of 10 knots, where the typical fuel burn is slightly more than 10 gph.

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 which has become the standard in the industry for its whisper quiet, smooth ride. Fundamental to this achievement is the use of Aquadrive anti-vibration drive systems. Other builders either charge a heavy premium for this or do not offer it at all.

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 2008 hull number 200 was launched, making it one of the most successful production yachts in history.

Available upon request is the Tony Fleming walk through video/DVD. Please contact us for a detailed specification price and equipment list for this Fleming 55 and to schedule your personal inspection of this fine vessel.
