Hello Boater
Fleming 85
Owner-Operator World Traveler
BUILT FOR THE HORIZON As the largest vessel in the Fleming lineup, this 85-footer expands the brand's reputation for self-reliant cruising without compromising their core principles of reliability and safe performance. She features the systems and structural integrity expected of a world cruiser, yet remains manageable by an owner-operator. She represents the ultimate expression of the pilothouse concept for extended offshore living.
ALL SEASON COCKPIT This new Riviera design emphasizes season-proof boating, blending a large, covered space with an open deck for true indoor-outdoor flow. Propulsion is twin Volvo Penta IPS, delivering exceptional low-speed handling and over 30 knots at WOT. Built by a brand backing her with a seven-year structural warranty, she is designed to maximize every opportunity for time on the water.

The illustration D075RR shows a vessel with two masthead lights in a vertical line (indicating a power-driven vessel less than 50 meters in length engaged in towing) and the required sidelights and stern light (indicating forward movement). Crucially, it also displays two yellow towing lights in a vertical line (the second one where the stern light would normally be) which is the required signal for a pushing vessel and a vessel being pushed ahead as a composite unit (or when the towing vessel is alongside).
