Summer 2019. Join the crew of Motoryacht Venture as we cruise the waters of British Columbia and the offshore islands of Haida Gwaii - previously known as the Queen Charlottes.
Hello Tony, it is often so busy at work that a weekend is not enough to relax. Several times I have discovered that your videos can help enormously. The nature you show us, the tranquility of sailing, the information you share and the way you do that, bring peace and space. I like to photograph in nature myself, and I enjoy what you show us. I hope you will make many more videos, good luck. Jaap
Once again you never fail to please Tony. We love your soft quiet voice narration, your chosen music and brilliant photography. We can also appreciate the amount of editing you must do to produce these films. Whenever you post a new one we sit back and let it roll thru all your previous ones. Magic !!!!
Wow! Another outstanding vid! Thank you so much! I lived on Malcolm Island in the ‘70’s, & I can’t tell you, how great it is to visit the old stompin’ grounds, now that I’ve been stuck in the east, here in Ontario, for years! Thanks again Mr. Fleming!..best of health to you & your family! 🤟🏼…✌🏼🇨🇦
Hi Tony, what an amazing presenter and photographer you are, I have been enjoying your stories for about 2 weeks and I have absolutely fallen in love with them. Sadly I can't afford one of your wonderful boats to duplicate some of your amazing journeys but you have inspired to me to look closer to home to find journeys I can manage, maybe sometime in the future I can do more. Thank you for sharing your stories and life with us.
Another high quality video. The journey, video, music, and narration are spot on as always. I have missed new videos but I still watch the old ones now and again. Thanks for sharing.
Thank U Tony for that wonderful tour of our beloved Islands & coast of this BC an awesome place we call home. Great job of filming, editing & narration. Having lived most of my life on the coast of this province & seen first hand many of the scenes & communities it was a great reminder of some I have not seen in some time. Thank U for the tour. Shawn Wallace.
Mr. Fleming, Thank you, as always, for sharing your wonderful adventures. Venture is a beautiful vessel and I cherish the memory of meeting you and having seen around her at Trawlerfest a few years back. It is always wonderful to see a Fleming yacht in harbor and to know how capable they are to undertake such journeys.
Glorious! Thank you for taking us with you on this majestic journey and adventure in one of the most beautiful areas in the world. Editing and presentation is pro and the results are heart opening. With gratitude ~ Limor
I finally have a new to me computer that allows me to watch your amazing photography at highest resolution on my TV/Monitor! Thank you for sharing your experience. I first read about Queen Charlotte Island from the designer of my sea kayak. I would love to visit one day.
This is the quality TV stuff like 90s not reality TV. The music and content is a masterpiece of art and creation. Genius is in the art you create. Keep it up.
Dear Sir, like Sir David Attenborourg the sound of your voice makes people moderate, together whit the images you made on your journey it becomes meditation. And when people are moderate trough your voice the images of beautyful mother earth and animals on it ,will bring them to higher level of feling of consiusnes and handling. So for me your films our very important esspecially on the moment. May i whis you and your family and schip bon voyage, and again in respect many thanks and a good and safe 2020. From the Netherlands.
Mr. Fleming, I am new to your outstanding videos. I rate them a "10" in all aspects and thank you so much for making such films available. The quality of the filming, the selection of the music and your soothing narrative match the beauty of the islands and all of the spectacular views that you share with us. Again. thank you, sir.
Just amazing scenery and wildlife. Thank you so so much for sharing this. My husband and I love love BC and especially the island. You make awesome documentaries.
I could just see the stern of my Gemini 105m at 23 seconds into the video. I often admire Venture from the dock so it is nice to see her out and about.
Another cracking production. I would love to be able to own such a wonderful vessel and take similar voyages. Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce these superb films.
Having just discovered your channel a few days ago, I'm pleased to see TH-cam's algorithms have presented me with your latest video on its release date. I've watched about 8 videos so far. They're all excellent - even ones off of the topic of yachts, such as how you make your videos.
I was also on the Haida Gwaii during the summer of 2019. Interesting place to visit, though you were able to see much more than I was. Your video adds to the wonder of the Islands.
Tony, superb video and narration. Plus the voice that would put an angle to sleep. Thank you, as we are all aware of the time it take's to video and edit.
I recently discovered your videos & thank you for making them available. My original home was B.C. & it’s an amazing privilege to see the grandeur of this area. Would you consider omitting the music background? It would be humbling to hear the natural sounds of these gorgeous, somewhat inaccessible parts of the world. Thank you again.
Music has been reduced in more recent videos but "natural" sound is almost impossible to get even with expensive and sophisticated equipment which i don't have. You always get unwanted noise like pumps starting, engines running, people talking, dogs barking, aircraft flying , wind noise etc. Even professionals have teams of "foley" to create "natural" sounds.
Tony, Love your videos, you do such a fantastic job! If you would ever consider taking on apprentice crew. My wife and I are capable hard workers. Would love to learn from you and your crew.
I just discovered your very beautiful videos. Your voice looks like Captain Cousteau. Thank you for sharing this Mister Fleming. I hope I win the lottery very soon to order a Fleming 55. :-). Are you sailing to Europe again with Venture?
There are not many but we have a range of between 1300 and 2000 nautical miles - depending on speed - so we do not need to refuel very often and have never had any problems.
We have good refrigeration and a big freezer. We carry frozen food that can last for weeks. Fresh produce has to be bought more often but we are seldom farther away than 7 - 10 days from places we can re-provision. We eat pretty much the same as we would at home.
Mr Fleming, are you the same tony fleming that designed the grand banks? I have a 36 foot 1974 classic in pristine condition, and would love to pick your brain on a few things . i am almost certain i saw your vessel this year at shearwater marine
I cannot take the credit for "designing" the Grsnd Banks - although I did play a significant role in its development. We did stop at Shearwater on our way north this past summer. That would have been a good time to have picked at what's left of my brains.
@@FlemingYachts I am the marine technician here at shearwater, i remember admiring your vessel, didnt nate the electrician install a new cbattery charger this year? i would be the mechanic who came down after he finished...
@@FlemingYachts itwas a fleming 55 i believe,,,,beautiful vessel! In my line of work, i get to see hundreads of yachts inside and out, i love my grand banks, but fleming yachts are my favorite. I hope to work up to a fleming some day in the future. if you dont mind me asking,,, what was your involvment with the construction of the grand banks? the fellow i purchased my 36 classic from told me the history, but it seems to me he was not correct. My banks is a 1974 ,,first year of the fiberglass, twin screw john deere 404a engines. i have watched every video you have posted on youtube,,, very supernatural! cant wait to see the next video!
@@jayson1134 I was working at the Grand Banks yard in HK when the GB was introduced so i was there for hull #1. I was at GB until 1985 when we started Fleming. As Technical director, I was responsible for the development of the Grand Banks line from the 1960's until 1985.

It was always been Haida Gawii don’t forget that.
Cmon Tony nothin better than a rental car on logging roads. Think dukes of hazard.
I’m a single retired San Diego Sheriffs deputy. Let me know if you need a deckhand...Thanks for your exceptional content 🧜🏼♂️

I would truly love to see restaurant accommodations at some of your visits to remote destinations. BG
Subscribed! Awesome video presentation.
i am very proud of my coastal home, logger by trade i go up and down the passage every month
Tony,
Love your videos, you do such a fantastic job! If you would ever consider taking on apprentice crew. My wife and I are capable hard workers. Would love to learn from you and your crew.
Thank you for your compliments and query. I'm afraid that we really do not have space for guests but thank you for asking.
LMAO @ THE SEAL👋👋👋
Quite excellent!
Where are we heading in 2020 and can I come along.
Beautiful
Tony Fleming....THE GOLD $TANDARD IN 55' YACHT'$ !
Very good Job.
Lovely film! How did you capture the underwater footage of the jellyfish?
I just used a small Lumix TS5 camera waterproof to 40 ft. I just clamped it onto the end of a boat hook. I did not go into the water.
terrific.
Thank you
It would be interesting to know how much fuel is burnt and where and how it is obtained on such long voyages. Thanks
I just discovered your very beautiful videos. Your voice looks like Captain Cousteau. Thank you for sharing this Mister Fleming. I hope I win the lottery very soon to order a Fleming 55. :-). Are you sailing to Europe again with Venture?
You seem to be concerned about logging and seal population. How much fuel did your luxury yacht consume during the filming of this video?
May I ask, What is the ensign flag flown on the Venture?
They're still the Queen Charlotte Islands.
i HOPE THERES LOTS OF STOPS WHERE YOU CAN GET FULE FOR THE SHIP!
There are not many but we have a range of between 1300 and 2000 nautical miles - depending on speed - so we do not need to refuel very often and have never had any problems.
👏👍
I love you videos but am very intrested in what your provisions are and the food aspect of living on a yacht thank you
