Thank you for this video! I’ve been dying to see the inside and details since I’ve been watching your adventures! You’ve thought of everything! This is a lovely craft!
Wow, what a great video. Loved every second of it. One day we hope to own one of these fantastic yachts to continue our adventures on. Thank you for sharing this and your journeys. Please keep them coming.
Amazing videos hit the mark in every way. The photography is professional quality. Editing with excellent narration. Of course you have nothing if there is no story, and that you have in spades. Just love these, and I find them perfect for the long covid sequestered days. I’m a was raised and worked all along the BC coast. Wonderful videos!
When I first saw the clip, I thought I was going to see the most exotic police chase ever. Then I read the caption and tucked in for a well produced yachting video.
I thank you very much for the exciting tour! I do wish to see more 78' hull videos in the very near future! I'm hooked on Fleming Yachts. A simple approach to boating!
A fantastic story of a great vessel being born. Well done, sir! "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." ~ Anatole France
lovely to see the genesis of that particular yacht! i just came across your channel (one of your inside passage videos-- a trip i've done multiple times on the ferry system that also plies that route) the other day, and have been enjoying what you've created. still watching this video as i type, and was delighted to see the snippet about the stirling engine generator being put in! completely independently of your videos, i've been learning about stirling engines lately, and i'll be eager to watch more, and find out how it's worked in the particular iteration for which you've installed it.
I'm sorry to say that the Stirling engined generator proved very unreliable and the company building them ceased production during the 2008 financial debacle. The generator was removed from Venture about 10 years ago.
very sorry to hear that-- they're such an intriguing concept. as i continued watching this video, i realized that it's possible i've encountered Venture at some point (in theory, at least)! between 2005-2010, i was spending quite a bit of time in the summer months in the san juans, vancouver, et al, and i was at the various ports, gazing with lust at all the eye candy moored at those ports. :-)
I was hoping to see the story of venture. Boats built from an asian island.. they've been doing that for a very long time. I am of the north, where beautiful has splinters, and hulls smell of vinegar. I could imagine details really do deserve awards. great story.
No, I'm afraid we did not make a video of engine replacement. However, all Flemings are designed so engines can be removed without wrecking boat. Basically, a crane boom is extended in through aft doors. On the 65, the aft arm of the galley mast be moved for the port engine but the galley is designed to come apart.
@@FlemingYachts That is too bad as it would have demonstrated the exceptional engineering that went into the boat. It is also gratifying that you constantly improve your yachts but retain the original design that has made them so safe and dependable. Cheers
The original engines were replaced after about two years but not because they were worn out. Venture serves as a testbed for new ideas and we wanted to try the current MAN common rail engines before installing them in new builds. The MAN engines now have about 4,800 hrs on them which is nothing for a landbased diesel on which these engines are based.
I hope with the assistance of any of your Friendships, this Posting, finds you well Tony. Grateful emotions fill my every moment since i viewed "a Tony Flemming Film"; may they always be etched in Time. Yes, this is gonna be way more than a comment. Tony, you are the coolest man walking on the planet, my hero. Reggie Fountain of Fountain power boats is now "the number 2"( no disrespect intended, I encourage everyone to watch "The fastest man on the planet" for story of Reggie Fountain & his boats Your films have triggered my excessive compulsive Behavior that Sparks my Soul's Being & Let's me know "We" are connected to a greater multi dimensional state of being. It's Your cruising style & planetary knowledge that I recognize as Sovereign & in a way of a liaison for planet Mother Earth & it's inhabitants. ( "Heavy", i know, I've been called heavy "D" light) it takes one to know one... I and Venture would like to say" really ready to join the Flemming family of Friendship" as an approved Handler calibrated by your friend Captain Chris. Behind the wheel of a Fleming is where I belong, venture, with a vibration that harmonious, is my style. Its now just matter of time... Delopmopolis Alabama is closest point for pickup for Venture's next project. What her ETA? Much love here
All ships carrying U.S. paying passengers must be built or at least assembled in U.S. yards - Canada is why you avoid the Jones Act. An act to save American industry!
I tend to agree but this video was made from still photos taken over 30 years ago and I had no decent ambient sound. Sometimes you have to compromise as I expect you have found with your videos.
They don't celebrate "Christmas Eve" in Asian countries so why did you add that phrase? You cannot carry paying U.S. passengers without violating federal law.
You rely on the lack of maritime history of your viewers - I'm not one of them. If you had just explained why foreign built was necessary I would have no problem with your videos. But your silence is "evil" in its own way. Of course we lost the whole industry to foreign builders since WWII, but at least you could explained that.
Youre a stupid clown. There is a very valid explanation (not that one is needed just to please the likes of you). There is also a mention on how building the boats here have helping hundreds of people have better lives in that country and around the world. You might not lack in maritime history (I actually think you do lack by your ignorance alone), but you lack big time in brains.
My wife and little son and I like to sit in bed at night and watch videos of Venture exploring and it relaxes us and makes us happy. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been dying to see the inside and details since I’ve been watching your adventures! You’ve thought of everything! This is a lovely craft!
Oh my goodness. Bringing the boat out after completing, made me all emotional! How proud these skilled builders must feel!
Watching your videos never gets old...
I love watching your Videos
Better than the discovery channel
Keep up the great work Sir.
I love everything about this series - the visuals, the music and the narrator's voice! Absolutely wonderful.
Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing with us the history of Venture yacht
She is a magnificent vessel-This 65 would be my first choice above all. Kudos to the Naval architect!
one of the best documentary about boat. Two thumbs up !
You always do an amazing job in every area! Thank you for taking us on your adventures!
Awsome video, I love the style in which you present all of your videos. Big fan of the yacht and the videos.
Thanks so much for charging all these adventures. I've probably seen all your video's 3 or 4 times. Again a big thanks

Love you videos! I’ve shared them many times. I think you could do a very good impression of Alfred Hitchcock.
Great boats and videos. I admire your professionalism and engineering. Keep it up.
Very much appreciated.
Great vids - allowing us to travel with you if only vicariously -

What a beauty!
Long Live Venture! Great Story!
There's alot money in that boat damn! Beautiful
What is the price of this boat?
這是佛萊明遊艇在台灣高雄的製造過程 我是台灣人 看了非常感動 看到鄉親同胞認真努力工作 發揮台灣人水牛精神 我在這裡感謝 謝謝你讓台灣人有工作 非常感謝
What a lovely film.
I watch venture videos every night before bedwould love to ride on it one dayVENTURE TO JAMAICA
A most enjoyable and informative video. Thank you
every miniute of this video is worth watching! Just curious , how many millions did it cost?
what a beauty!
I was hoping to see the story of venture. Boats built from an asian island.. they've been doing that for a very long time. I am of the north, where beautiful has splinters, and hulls smell of vinegar. I could imagine details really do deserve awards. great story.
ithink the earlier videos cover this
How much was this beautiful boat to make over there ..?. A few Million ..?..
Fantastic ship, sir.
No wonder you visit Alaska so much!
I love venture
Fantastic !!
hull is made of composite it's not a fair bit for sea ice ?
as said in France
Je vous souhaite bon vent ...
The deck, fits the hull: if not;;;; Argh - I hate it when that happen.
Did you make a video of when you replaced the engines and how did you get the old ones out and the new ones installed?
No, I'm afraid we did not make a video of engine replacement. However, all Flemings are designed so engines can be removed without wrecking boat. Basically, a crane boom is extended in through aft doors. On the 65, the aft arm of the galley mast be moved for the port engine but the galley is designed to come apart.

I build plugs and molds in 1980s 38ft race boats. Alot of labor.
Love it
great. I'm going to do this in my garage. (but first my garage)
Curious with 60k nautical miles, how many hours are on the engines? Have the engines been rebuilt or replaced?
The original engines were replaced after about two years but not because they were worn out.
Venture serves as a testbed for new ideas and we wanted to try the current MAN common rail engines before installing them in new builds. The MAN engines now have about 4,800 hrs on them which is nothing for a landbased diesel on which these engines are based.
there is a marine trader 50 foot made in Taiwan across from me.
I wish someone would show how they remove the stands from the haul
Are you also the narrator of a trip from England
to Capetown with an old truck?
The trip in which I participated and also narrated was actually from England to Bulawayo close to the northern border of South Africa.
Got an extra two three million bucks laying around I would definitely get one
Thank you....
How much $$$$ did it cost when it got to Cali?
Marketing Crimes & 2004 Stolen Inheritance, Attourney Crimes💯
So this boat is constructed in an Asian country, is that correct? Is Fleming Yachts a US business or foreign?
It is true that a foreign built vessel cannot be used for charter in the US?
Frank Ladd there’s many yachts in that are not built in the USA...
Frank Ladd yes
Cummins diesel engines? and if so what model and horse power.
Suggest you go to Flemingyachts.com to obtain the most current information.
Em que ano foi construído o flemyng
Best regards from croatia.come and visit us
Venture II - now under new ownership - has visited Croatia.

Its not made to carry paying US passengers idiot. Oh, by the way, there are plenty more countries in the world other than the US.
Made in TAIWAN

Something seriously wrong when a country has to make a law to make people buy their products, sorry.
