FIDDLESTICKS is a stunning 2007 Fleming 55, preserved in immaculate condition, having only traveled south of Maryland once when it was brought from the Pacific Northwest shortly after delivery. This boat has had just one meticulous owner who has kept it exclusively in New England, storing it on land in New Jersey each winter. The care and attention given to both its mechanical and cosmetic aspects are evident. The exterior looks remarkably modern for its age, with a shining gelcoat, regularly maintained bottom, and pristine teak decks. Its bimini and full hard enclosure appear almost brand new, thanks in part to custom covers that protect the bridge and foredeck year-round. Inside, the fabrics and original electronics are in excellent condition and fully operational, showcasing quality and diligent maintenance. A Steelhead electric hydraulic davit makes launching the tender a breeze. Mechanically, FIDDLESTICKS has been expertly maintained by its owner, ensuring every system runs flawlessly. The twin Cummins QSC8.3 engines, each generating 500hp, are the preferred choice for new Fleming 55s and, combined with the robust Aquadrive thrust bearing and rubber-mounted engine mounts, provide one of the quietest and smoothest cruising experiences available. Additional features include a 17kW and a 9kW Onan generator, a Village Marine watermaker, oversized ABT active fin stabilizers, and bow and stern thrusters by SidePower, making this Fleming 55 exceptionally well-equipped and lovingly cared for.
Entering the spacious salon from the aft cockpit, you are greeted by elegantly crafted satin-finished teak cabinetry and abundant natural light from the opening windows. The layout harmoniously connects the salon and galley, fostering a social atmosphere while keeping the galley separate from the dedicated pilothouse. With a generous beam of 16 feet, the open floor plan enhances comfort and volume, perfect for entertaining. The large L-shaped settee on the port side invites relaxation and conversation, complemented by a built-in bar with an ice maker—ideal for cocktail hours. A full-length credenza on the starboard side offers ample storage, while an entertainment center discreetly houses a retractable 32” LCD TV and AV equipment, preserving the salon's elegant aesthetic.
The galley, positioned just forward of the salon, features a U-shaped design with a granite peninsula countertop and overhead teak cabinets. It includes a stainless-steel double-bowl sink, a three-burner induction cooktop, and a convection microwave oven. A built-in trash compactor adds to its functionality, while generous teak cabinetry ensures plenty of storage, including a dedicated area for cookware. Directly opposite, a full-size refrigerator with bottom freezer provides convenient access to food and supplies.
Descend five well-lit steps from the salon to find the accommodations passage, a classic feature of the Fleming 55 design. The starboard guest stateroom features twin bunks, while the spacious VIP stateroom to port has a queen-sized berth with an overhead slide-out bunk for flexible sleeping arrangements. Additional amenities in the master stateroom include a custom queen-sized island berth, abundant storage, and a private en-suite head with quality finishes.
The pilothouse maintains the Fleming's commitment to offshore cruising with a dedicated helm station. Excellent visibility and a well-organized console accommodate modern navigation electronics, with easy access to electrical systems. Two swing-open breaker panels simplify maintenance, and a charting station is equipped with ample storage for navigational essentials.
The flybridge is easily accessed and features a well-equipped upper helm station, a U-shaped settee, and a spacious aft deck with a Steelhead electric-hydraulic davit and an 11’ RIB tender. The classic green bimini provides style and protection, making it the perfect space for relaxation or entertaining.
