Guys and gals, Garth here...
Nick's vids have been so helpful to me over the years and I hope our tour has helped others understand the reasoning (and emotions) that have culminated in us owning Palarran. And there was a coffee at the start..😂 😂😂😂
And imagine my surprise when I went to view Nick's latest video to see you and Pam!! Looks an amazing boat mate.
I'm looking to buy our first boat and have seen many of Nick's videos too. Your boat is really lovely and your video is hugely helpful, thanks.
Thank you for sharing your fabulous vessel. Absolutely love Fleming Yachts.
I know absolutely zero about boats....apart from one thing....and that is...your boat is beautiful 😍
Thanks for making this video so interesting. You gave added value to this particular video.
PART TWO - The Trip is coming tomorrow! 🙂
Awesome! 👍👍
That will definitely worth waiting for nick if the first part was anything to go by!👏👏👏👏
@@johningham4942 agreed! 👍👍
Well we were waiting for the talk to the very knowledgeable lad and it went off 🙆 you should have told us .. I'm reporting you for cruelty to boat nuts 😂😂😂😂👍🏴🍀
Great video Nick. Just have to get Jim over to talk to this couple.
Credit to the owners for keeping this 2008 boat in this condition, it’s absolutely immaculate!
It’s been a joy to watch this ‘Meet The Owner’, he certainly knows his stuff.
Great couple, great boat! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 about the big trip tomorrow. 🙂
This is probably my favorite of your videos yet! It's so great to hear from the owner, and understand how the boat IS a home for them.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
Am I the only one that got confused by the mirror in the first cabin that made me wonder where the back of the washer and dryer were?
🌟 optical illusions #flex
Me too... Is there answer... Cannot work it out!
6:50 I thought it was a glitch in the Matrix.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❣❣❣❣
Well, that made my day Nick! You know what a Fleming fan I am. Proper boat, for proper passages.
Garth is the type to make the most of this boats engineering and quality.
Is there a part 2 to include Pam and their boat history?
Whilst I would be VERY happy with a 55, it is staggering how much greater the volume is on a 58....(huge full width owners cabin plus the VIP suite as well as a twin cabin for example.)
Everything is over engineered and massively built - as can be seen in the gross tonnage. The engine room with its built in redundancy systems is state of the art.
Thank you for this Nick. I will probably watch this dozens of times.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC Oh no, Now I am beside myself Nick 😅😅😅😅
Beautiful beautiful vessel. It always makes me feel lucky to be part of the boating community, where you rarely get any jealously or snobbery with regard to value,size,age of vessel we have. We all know it's our pride and joy and can appreciate each others in the same way. Or maybe I'm just lucky that I haven't come across it yet.
What a great tour , with an owner who knows and loves his boat . This Fleming 55' or 58' are my dream boats . I hope you can get some more Fleming tours too . Thanks Nick , so much . Bob Jones
Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 about the big trip tomorrow. 🙂
Hi Nick. That was a very intresting look at an amazing boat with a man who is very much in control of his boat & what it can achive.
Well done Nick excellent review.
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
Great upgrades and improvements it will be interesting to hear his history in part 2
A extremely well kept beautiful boat.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
Not normally of fan of the “meet the owner” videos - I think just because I come here for the standard tour from Nick, so maybe get disappointed?
Anyhow, I really enjoyed that one! The owner was easy to listen to and I found his knowledge and enthusiasm for his boat infectious.
And what a lovely boat too 👍
What a fabulous meet the owner episode. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and what a great insight from such a knowledgeable owner. A super vessel, looking forward to part 2.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Any chance we can get a peak at cabin 2 tomorrow? I tried to politely remind you by shouting at the TV, but it didn't work 😂.
Proper little ship… and v nice yacht master on oysterflex… chapeau on all levels
Was lucky enough to pass Palarran this morning as she came down the Hamble and say good morning to the owner. This really is a beautiful boat
Looking very nice on their yacht.
Your friend here has a great understanding of his yacht and what he likes. Yes, I too saw the fuel level tube go down there almost at the end of the presentation here. The master suite looks very nice as well. The kitchen was nice with the American garbage disposal and trash compactor. Thant was nice!!!!
Really enjoyed the engine room tour in particular, thanks Nick, and of course Garth.
What a nice boat .. looks like brand new ...
This is an excellent boat both for shorter trips and for a long run.
What a perfect vessel! This video was a joy to watch!
that engine room is cleaner than my kitchen 😛, great video , loved watching the owner talk us round his boat ,
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Sweet! A Fleming!
I really loved this tour, What a great boat,
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
This guy sounds the spit like Gary Davis the radio DJ! 🤣 Great video as always
First time I've seen someone actually wearing a yachtmaster on a yacht
Gorgeous yacht, I'm a bit partial to a Fleming. 👍❤️🇬🇧
I love this boat!
Great video Nick, thank you. You could have made it even better by including more panoramic shots of the space being discussed, like you did at 5:25 but not in other places. Should take 5 minutes to film (and I have a strong feeling you did) and a bit longer than that to edit.
I love me a trawler style yacht, my favorite!
Blither .. that's nice ..now that might have thrown a spanner in our works 🙆😂👍🏴🍀
So, Fleming is a true mini-personal luxury yacht.
Does your camera ever angle down..???
Very nice boat. Was it just me or did the washer and dryer look to be fake? They didn't seem able to sit in the spot they were as it was a slim wall.
They're flatscreen washer and dryer. 😉
Great boat, and nice it gets a lot of use. Nick, I myself am a river boater, so I don’t have a life raft. Out of interest why do you need a life raft when you have a capable tender?
If you are in rough sea conditions, the big boat might be able to cope, but a small tender offshore would be an unsafe place to be whereas a liferaft is built for survival.
So where is part two Nick ?
Check out my comment in the Community Section. 🙂
What happened to the chat at the end, did Pam get fed up being left so long?
Was wondering the same. Let's go upstairs for a chat! Maybe Pam said no :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
This was great but didn't get into their history on how they got into boating and business.
Stay tuned, coming soon!
That owner knows his boat inside out. His tour was very good, succinct and well delivered. Thanks to all for bringing this to us.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
I have to agree. Total understanding and pride in a well presented well looked after and well used boat. Very nice indeed. Did I also detect a very slight dig at the yachties? 😊
I saw he mentioned "...Gin Palace."
I almost didn't recognize Louis CK with that accent.... he's a crack up 😅
What a true insight into operating a boat. He couldn't be nicer and more knowledgeable. Great video.😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
Looking forward to that buddy. Great video.
What a thoroughly knowledgable owner,. speaks very well about what and why things are and how useful they are, Give him a job nick He's almost as good as you😁
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
maybe I'm not looking at it right, but the washer and dryer look thin. 😎
Hahaha, I noticed as well...I think we were seeing a mirrored reflection in the frame maybe? I didn't care enough to go back, but it made me laugh
That's what I was thinking ,very odd sight.
I thought that
It's took me 5 minutes to work out that a mirror in the cabin was giving the illusion of the most slimmest of washing machines and tumble dryers in the world.
I was really trying get ma heed lined up with the door frame wondering where Uri was hiding. 😂
Remember that Fleming Yachts are included by International Club for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Enthusiasts in the following publication: STRIVE FOR PERFECTION - A ROYAL EDITION. Fleming is often referred to as the "Rolls-Royce Of Yachts"
After this tour by the owner, I can see why. I kept saying this boat is like a mini luxury yacht.
I love it ! Pilot house, Portuguese bridge, beautiful classical lines... They can be proud. Fantastic Nick
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
I do like a Fleming yacht. There may not be headroom in the engineering space, but it’s sure we’ll kept.
By FAR the best owner interview & walk around you have ever done Nick.. hats off to Garth, what a quietly amazing guy.. not flash, but spot on the money with everything.. a details guy who knows everything about his boat and is clearly passionate about his life onboard..
I really enjoyed this one…. Please pass on my sincere thanks to the owners - very good people
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Absolutely my favourite boat - I am very jealous. The tweaks the owner has made are spot on.
Love these owners videos.Beautiful Yacht. Thank you all
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC yes
Probably the best all round owner operator boat money can buy. Very nice indeed.
Absolutely love this boat! What a fantastic pair of humans who own her. Wonderful video Nick. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
Great tour and a lovely looking boat,
Look forward to seeing the trip
Cheers Nick and Marrianne
I think this is your best owner video so far nick so informative loved it
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
Great episode. Fleming is one of my top 5 dream list
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
Great video Nick, seems like great owners, love a Fleming and look forward to tomorrow.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Just moved Fleming up to #1 in my boat wish list.
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
There’s no substitute for quality or good taste! What a beautiful boat, looking forward to seeing her underway! Thanks to the owners and thanks to you Nick for the explanations. 👏👍😀
Our pleasure!
These kind of boats would be reason enough to accumulate the wealth needed to buy and operate one. Would be nice to set to sea in one, and see where one would end up. Australia, America or Antarctica, perhaps? All are possible. Really interesting tour, really nice (and competent) owners. Good work!
Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 about the big trip tomorrow. 🙂
That's not a boat, that's a proper little ship. Talk about travel and liveaboard.
When an owner knows their boat inside and out- to a literal nerdy level- you just have to appreciate, and even cheer for them the way this gentlemen knows his boat. What fun to walk around with and learn about the insides and outs with the owners, themselves. Thrilling! Hard also not to notice that gorgeous yellow gold Rolex Yachtmaster with Oysterflex band. This is a fellow with great taste, and clearly it’s all well earned and deserved. Thanks Nick. Another truly superb experience, all thanks to you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 about the big trip tomorrow. 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC I shall be there my good man! When will BBC smarten up and pay you big bucks for your awesome aqua journalism- but on the telly for millions to enjoy?! 😄
Great yacht! This owner certainly knows what he has!
this is the best meet the owner episode by far. thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
I recently found out that Tony Fleming was in his late 80s yet still doing his cruises and fantastic videos on UA-cam. Fair play to that guy, living his life to the full.
I really enjoy hearing from the owners about their own experience with a boat. Thanks for sharing your beautiful boat.
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU OR NAUTISTLYES GO TO TAIWAN AND INTERVIEW THE OWNERS OF FLEMING YACHTS! THEY HAVE JUST RELEASED THE NEW FLEMING 85 AND ITS A BEAUT!! ALSO YOUR VIEWERS WOULD ENJOY THE ADVENTURES OF TONY FLEMING ON HIS 65 NAMED "VENTURE'! great video here!
where is part 2??
Best ‘Meet the Owner’ you’ve done. Fully comprehensive and well explained by Garth. Watch out Nick could have competition there!
i feel like my eyes are playing tricks on me. where are the back 2/3rds of the washer/dryer? ua-cam.com/video/VXAJf838L_k/v-deo.html
A rarely knowledgeable owner. And good and showing his boat, well done to both him and Nick. I learned of Fleming from the adventures of the boat called Venture on their channel. As impressive now as it was then. Seeing well maintained well used ones is pleasant to watch.
Meet the owner videos you do are great,my favourites 👌
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
I agree. They're my favourite thing to watch on UA-cam ❤
The sneaky wave in the mirror! 😂
😄
Fantastic tour but please come up for breath Mr owner 😮
Love your channel, I especially enjoy 'Meet the owner', Just a couple of ideas if you don't mind me suggesting, I think if the owners fired up their engines during the video it would add an interesting dynamic for the viewer it would enforce that whilst the boat looks pretty it has a function of getting you from A to B, The sound of the engines adds to the heart of a boat as does the sound of a steam train pulling out of the station! I'd also like to see more external shots of the boat also, maybe the owners have some cruising video footage that you can include in your presentations for added content. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
Can’t wait Nick, u are my mancrush
6:47 are there fake or is that an optical illusion is a wall looks like it's only about 6 in wide
I thought the same?
Turns outs it’s a mirror😂
@@huggybear1 because the one door slides away to reveal the washer and dryer but then to the side of it it looks like a door jamb
I'm rapidly losing faith in humanity.
As you said a nice piece of equipement, great review
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
Thursday treat or Friday teaser?!
Brilliant boat with a very invested owner. He certainly knows every square inch of the boat, which is great to see.
Looking forward to part 2!
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC when’s part 2 coming?!
Not like I’m impatient 😬
@@nicbennett6554 Hopefully Friday, the owners are kindly supplying me with some extra video.
@@AQUAHOLIC brilliant news. 🤩🤩
Great Tour of a Great Boat Nick, thanks for the Walkthrough. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️❤️✨️✨️✨️
Thanks for watching!
Another fantastic video the boat is perfect for its use the owners clearly love and use their boat
Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 about the big trip tomorrow. 🙂
Thank you Nick, Garth and Pam for an enjoyable, informative and comprehensive tour. Although Aquaholic tours are always all encompassing, nothing beats experienced and passionate owners describing the features, mechanics and build quality of the boat. I always look forward to 'meet the owners' tours.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm a biker , know nothing about boats etc ,but really enjoyed the tour around the boat what a fabulous bit of kit . 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and welcome aboard! 🙂
I literally just rewatched two meet the owner eposodes Tuesday & Wednesday and I was wondering when the next one would be, weird. I'll look forward to watching this later after work.
Enjoy!
7:00 it's like an optical illusion. The washing machine and dryer look really thin ha ha ha.
New flatscreen technology. 🙂
He speaks with authority like a captain who uses the ship regularly,
awesome. he knows his boat very well.
I never understand this obsession with Big TVs on Yachts ...???
Boat season is Formula 1 season, if you ask me.
I absolutely love these personal interviews and boat tours. You really get a feel as to why they selected the boat they did.
Beautiful boat. Pristine condition, I would have it over the 11 million San Lorenzo in todays review any day. Has Jim Davidson seen it? 😄
The convection microwave, a cook with ambient heat being evened out with a fan convection oven and cook from radiation no ambient heat microwave that unless it has BOTH heating/cooking systems is just a noisy microwave that doesn't roast a chicken worth beans. I will never have one. After listening to the scream of convection fans for 40 to 80 hours a week for 20 years a convection oven destroys my appetite so I don't eat.
The touch screens do not respond to my touch reliably, just having them installed is an automatic fail on me making an offer.
Outstanding boat and tour. Fleming 85 open fly bridge tour.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
love that boat, unlike some, not full of bling, but beautifully functional, I can't standnd floating palaces. 👍🙏
Goodonyah Nick, the best episodes these are.
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
With such a cramped engine room, I think he could benefit from the Yoga he said isn’t his thing. 😁
Thanks Nick and guests!
Glad you enjoyed it! Part Two, the trip, tomorrow. 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC Great!
Now I just need to win that lottery. And if I do I’m hiring you to help me find my dream boat.
Great video! Great owner! I always appreciate these types of shares. I am curious if you asked if they compared the 55 and 65 in making this purchase decision. Both are fabulous yachts, and I don't know their differences that would influence the choice (aside from cost).
Oh for the simplicity of my snapdragon 24.........
Not a huge fan of meeting the owners, still managed to sneak in a wave. Beautiful boat!
Great video Nick, love Fleming boats. My other favorite is an Outer Reef.
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
A fantastic vessel and tour, built for the go, not for the show.
Ah yes! This is the kind of content I want to see! 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it, The Trip part of the story tomorrow! 🙂
What's going on with the washer dryer?? You're holding the camera in a way that looks like the back of those doesn't exist because they are on the wall right outside the starboard cabin. As if they are only six inches deep. Figured it out, when looking at the washer dryer you are looking at a mirror on the right. Leaving this in case anyone else gets boggled.
Those are the new Flat Screen appliances, similar tech to flat screen TVs 🙂
