All Fleming Yachts are built to comply with the appropriate marine and environmental regulations for the area in which the yacht is delivered

USA - NMMA Certified Manufacturer fully complying with: ABYC, USCG and EPA regulations.

European - Built to CE–RCD Category “A” Ocean Standard using the relevant ISO standards.

Australian – New Zealand - Australian Standard 1799.1-2009

Canada - Transport Canada TP1332E 04/2010

Fleming Yachts Construction (HK) Ltd management and environmental systems have met and been approved by ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Standards.

The question most manufacturers ask themselves when considering a new feature is whether it is necessary to include it in order to sell the boat. In the case of the Fleming, we ask only whether its inclusion will make the boat safer, better or more convenient. That is why we have introduced literally hundreds or refinements since we started construction in 1985 and why we continue the process today.

For that reason Fleming Yachts reserves the right to make changes to specifications and equipment without notice.
