New Walkthrough Video - Fleming 85
Smooth Operator's Choice
CRUISING, ELEVATED Fleming is known for designing systems for easy maintenance access and reliability. Below the waterline, her solid fiberglass hull offers superior impact resistance, while Humphree stabilizers provide zero-speed comfort at anchor. Above deck, the galley is central, offering full-sized appliances, and the pilothouse can be secured in any weather while providing excellent visibility & operational confidence.

De Antonio’s signature innovation allows for a deep, walk-around interior, offering a full-beam owner’s suite and a bow lounge option that can include an integrated spa pool. A clever twist on big boat design.
50 MPH DOWNEAST The 38R carries the MJM tradition: a fast, narrow waterplane built with C5 epoxy composites for an efficient, soft ride. Her Downeast lines house a clever pilothouse with fully opening glass for 360-degree views, blending seamlessly into the outdoors. Joystick piloting and a side boarding door ensure she is a delight to dock, making single-handing easy. Below, a dry head with a separate shower awaits.
