What follows is a true story.
At 4:47 PM on February 19th, I sent an email to Nicky Fleming, the Director of Marketing at
Fleming Yachts, asking for an interview for an upcoming story.
At 10:32 AM on February 20th, Tony Fleming emailed me back.
This is where the Fleming brand begins and ends – with Tony Fleming. If you have ever read any of Tony’s interviews or articles (
this is a great one in which he speaks at length about the reasons behind Fleming builds), you’ll recognize that doing business with Fleming Yachts means doing business with Tony Fleming. Essentially, by purchasing a Fleming, you’re subscribing to Tony’s system. You’re saying, “I agree with Tony Fleming that bluewater cruising boats should be incredibly sturdy, timelessly elegant, technologically sound, whisper-quiet, mechanically perfect, and increasingly better with every rendition.” If you agree with Tony Fleming, come aboard.
