The Fleming 65 was introduced in mid 2005 in response to strong demand as an intermediate Fleming model between the 55 and the 75. It offers much more interior and deck space than the smaller Fleming 55 while retaining a similar layout concept. The first hull, named Venture, has been extensively cruised and tested by Tony Fleming himself, covering over 60,000 miles in various waters including the West Coast of North America, Galapagos, Panama Canal, and more, providing valuable feedback for design improvements incorporated in production models.

The Fleming 65 has earned acclaim, being voted the best yacht in her class worldwide for 2006 by a panel of thirteen judges from Yachts magazine. Built at the reputable Tung Hwa yard in Taiwan, the 65 boasts robust construction and luxurious features.
