The Bernsteins generally cruise at 8 to 10 knots. At 10 knots, the Fleming 55's twin Cummins QSC 500 diesels burn 10 gph, or a gallon per mile, a really efficient fuel burn for a 55-foot boat. Top speed is listed as 19 knots. David says the 55 does about 17.5 knots in pretty favorable seas.
Fleming 78: Stronger, Faster, Farther
The first Fleming 78, introduced in 2010, was a natural evolution of the company's 75, which had, at that point, been the flagship of the Fleming line for a decade. This new 78 incorporated a longer waterline to improve running efficiency at cruise and passagemaking speeds. A boost to 90 metric tons full-load displacement assured internal ...
Fleming Yachts 58 (2018-)
The Fleming 58 is a classic pilothouse trawler design carrying 1,450 gallons (5,489 L) of fuel in two tanks, promising extensive range at displacement speeds. We tested her with optional 800-hp MAN engines and found her to be more fuel-efficient at displacement speeds than a lighter trawler with a low-hp single engine. And, she can go 20 knots in a pinch.

Boat Review: Fleming 55
Tony Fleming must have known from the beginning that he had a winner in his Fleming 55.

Fleming 65 Boat Review
Tony Fleming may say he has no plans for an empire but, with the Fleming 65 already sold out through 2009, his fans may build one for him.

Tested: Fleming 78 Classic
The longer waterline and hull shape make the boat meaningfully more efficient in the 10- to 12-knot cruising range than the 65, which was also impressive." Impressive is an apt word to describe the 78 Classic, since it comes passionately equipped thanks to Tony Fleming and his team of master builders.

Fleming 55: Time-Tested Motoryacht
In production for almost 30 years, the Fleming 55 is still being built today. "They just delivered Hull 231, and there have been eight to 10 changes with every new hull," says John Bullock with Burr Yacht Sales, which is Fleming's East Coast dealer in the United States. "If you look at a late '80s or early '90s boat, fundamentally ...
Fleming Yachts 55 (2018-)
The Fleming 55 is designed for a cruising couple, or two couples, or even a family to make long offshore and coastal passages in comfort and safety. And that means to be able to travel to the Caribbean, or to the Pacific at trawler speeds. At 7.4 knots, we found that she has a range of 2,788 nautical miles.

The Fleming 55
The Fleming 55 is a three-stateroom boat, with wide side decks and a large covered aft cockpit. Typical of Taiwan yacht building of the era, there was lots of exterior teak, including a teak-slotted swim platform. With hull no. 39, the platform was replaced with a fiberglass structure, a step that signified a shift away from maintenance ...
The Iconic Fleming 55 Cruiser is Still Going Strong After 36 Years
Even after 36 years of production, and a price that starts at just over $3 million, there's still a three-year waiting list for the iconic 55. The Fleming 55 was introduced in 1986. It's still ...
Outer Reef vs Fleming vs Grand Banks
Outer Reef is a great seaworthy and well built boat. I would agree on Selene being good but that wasn't what you asked. Fleming, I'd prefer the 58' or 65' to the 55'. Fleming is unbeatable in terms of quality, although not typically a boat one uses trans-oceanic. I do like that you have a bit extra speed with Fleming.
Fleming 78 Boat Review
This new 78 has all the traits of the highly regarded Fleming line of motoryachts, which include the 55, 65 and soon-to-be-launched 58. TEST CONDITIONS: Speeds were measured by GPS in the Pacific Ocean off Newport Beach, California, in flat seas and light winds, with a full load of fuel two-thirds load of water and three people on board.
A Tale Of Two Journeys: Experiencing The Great Loop On A Fleming 65
Two decades and two Flemings (55-123 and 65-023) later, we decided to experience the Great Loop again. Things are decidedly different this time, including a new set of challenges. The Fleming was still named ASLAN, but it was now a Fleming 65 with an 18'8" beam to squeeze through tight canals and an air draft of 24' to duck under low ...
