The Fleming 55 is a well-proven raised pilothouse motoryacht designed for serious cruising. Her semi-displacement hull gives her great flexibility in performance. The Fleming 55 has a range of 2,000 nautical miles at 8 knots yet, with her standard Twin Cummins QSC 500 hp common rail engines, she can attain a top speed of approximately 18 knots. Maximum sustained cruising speed is around 17 knots where her moderate deadrise provides a very comfortable ride. On longer passages, Fleming owners typically cruise at a very economical speed of 10 knots, where the typical fuel burn is slightly more than 10 gph.

The Fleming's deep keel provides protection for the running gear and stability in following seas. Because noise and vibration contribute to fatigue, Fleming has paid special attention to producing a yacht which has become the standard in the industry for its whisper quiet, ultra smooth ride. Fundamental to this achievement is the use of Aquadrive anti-vibration drive systems. 

The Fleming 55 was first introduced in 1986, and since that time it has benefited from a rigorous program of evolution. There have been literally hundreds of improvements made, both big and small. While its legendary hull design remains essentially the same, today's Fleming 55 is a thoroughly modern yacht utilizing advanced technology, materials and construction methods. In 2019 construction of hull number 250 is well underway, making it one of the most successful production yachts in history.

Overview Continued...

Foredeck and Forepeak

Special attention has been paid to the ability to set and retrieve heavy ground tackle on the Fleming 55. The fiberglass anchor platform is equipped with twin Maxwell RC12 vertical windlasses with capstans for both rope and 3/8" (10mm) Grade-60 stainless steel chain. The windlass has a plug-in remote control as well as controls in the pilothouse and on the flybridge. Double sets of grooved rollers make it possible to self-launch and stow two 77 lb (35 Kg) Ultra anchors. Hose bibs for salt and fresh water are located next to the anchor platform, and there are deck lockers to port and stbd.

A lock-down hatch on the foredeck provides convenient access to the forepeak, which is separated from the rest of the yacht by a collision bulkhead. It has an area for storage of chain and a separate ventilated rope locker. Each features a bitter end fitting. The forepeak drains directly overboard and can be hosed down without concerns that water will contaminate the bilges.

The flared bow turns aside green water and provides a forward deck of unusually generous proportions. The oval stainless steel handrail has been brought inboard of the sloping bulwarks for convenience and security. To prevent streaking of the hull, the deck scuppers are piped down to the boot stripe, rather than being allowed to drain directly overboard.

Further protection against heavy weather is provided by the design of the Portuguese bridge. There is comfortable seating on its forward side, which is also the location for the forward shorepower inlet. There is ample storage for fenders and lines inside ventilated lockers accessed from the aft side of the Portuguese Bridge, and double doors close off the forward deck areas from the side and bridge decks creating a safe area for small children. There are sturdy, stainless steel handrails around the forward face of the pilothouse and down both side decks.

Easy stairs with handrails designed for both adults and children lead down to the wide and well-protected side-decks, which run down both sides of the boat. Here you will find cleats and chocks for forward and aft spring lines. The inward-opening bulwark doors make for easy and safe boarding.

Aft Deck and Swim Platform

With an area of approximately 250 sq ft. the Fleming 55 aft deck is unusually large. Being all at one level, it becomes an extension of the salon and provides ample space for chairs, donning scuba gear, or fishing. The fiberglass skirt around the edge of the wide teak cap rail conceals mood lighting and hides the engine-room air intakes which are well-protected from salt-laden spray.

Shower fittings for hot and cold water, located next to the inward-opening transom door, are conveniently placed for use while standing on the swim platform. Stainless steel handrails on the transom and a swim ladder, which can be deployed by a person in the water, provide safety and convenience.

Access to the upper boat deck is via a stainless steel ladder and a sliding hatch in the overhead. Access into the lazarette is through lockable hatches, with safe and stylish curved corners. Available as options are a console for cockpit engine controls and a locker, which can be equipped with a basin and faucet, insulated chest or icemaker.

Flying Bridge

The Fleming 55 low-profile flying bridge is spacious and packed with practical amenities. Its double helmseat, with folding stainless steel footrest, folds forward to access storage beneath it. The control console has full engine instrumentation and ample room for electronics. Access to and from the pilothouse is by a protected internal companionway directly from the pilothouse, avoiding the need to navigate perilous steps or ladders where a slip could result in a fall over the side. A wrap-around venturi windshield with stainless steel handrail provides protection from wind and weather.

There is seating for eight guests close to, but out of the way of, the helm station. A fiberglass table is standard and an ingenious pass-thru "dumbwaiter" eliminates the need to carry refreshments up from the galley. Aft of the seating area is the separate boat deck for the tender and a fully hydraulic davit, with remote control. From here, a ladder provides direct access to the lower aft deck.

A popular option is the aft facing boat deck control station that provides the captain with excellent visibility aft. Complete with bow thruster, and engine controls, backing into a tight slip is easier than ever.

The radar arch provides ample room for the full range of antennae required by modern electronic equipment, and an optional fibreglass hardtop is a popular choice.

Main Salon and Galley

The salon in the Fleming 55 features a comfortable L-settee with cushions upholstered over wood frames instead of the usual foam cushions on plywood. The sole is hand-laid teak and holly strips, and all built-in furniture is of superior quality joinerwork with rounded corners. There is a hi-lo table of unique design making it suitable for dining and as a coffee table. To starboard is a cabinet with powered TV lift and space for entertainment system components. To port is a bar with icemaker. The salon opens directly onto the aft deck through double sliding doors. 

The galley is conveniently located on the same level as the salon and is properly designed to be used while underway. Either Corian or granite counter tops can be ordered. There are ample storage lockers and drawers, and appliances include a 21 cu. ft. side-by-side fridge/freezer with teak-panel doors and chilled water & ice dispenser; Miele induction cooktop with practical custom stainless steel pot-holders; convection microwave; and an undermount double stainless steel sink with waste disposer. Space has been provided for an optional dishwasher. A 20-gallon water heater is conveniently located close to the sinks for instant hot water. A pass-through dumbwaiter makes it safe and easy to serve food and drinks to guests on the flying bridge.

Fleming's signature low-profile design is evident even in the interior, as just a few steps lead up to pilothouse and down to the accommodations. 

Accommodations

The perfect close to a day of cruising is to retire to a comfortable cabin. The Fleming 55 offers easy access to all the accommodations via a central passageway. A separate washer and drier are conveniently located behind a sliding door in this passage.

The master cabin is forward for maximum light and ventilation. It features a tapered queen berth with headboard. The bed lifts at the press of a button to access storage for bulky items. The bed also slides aft to make it easier to make the bed. There are two hanging lockers with shelves, teak louvered doors and space for a TV.

The master cabin has an en suite head with Corian, marble or granite countertops and a molded fiberglass shower stall. Hans-Grohe faucets are used throughout and feature a thermostatically controlled shower. 

The port guest cabin is offered with either two single or one double bed with headboards. An additional slide-out upper berth with either layout is optional. The aft bulkhead has generous bookshelves. The starboard guest cabin has one lower and one upper, slide-out, upper berth. This cabin can also be offered as an optional office with desk, lockers, bookshelves and space for a computer & printer.

The guest head features a one-piece fiberglass molding and shower stall with bi-fold stainless steel doors. The attractive ceramic basin is set in a Corian, marble or granite countertop. Faucets are Hans-Grohe with a thermostatically controlled shower.

Throughout the yacht all lighting is LED type with polished stainless steel fittings. Teak and holly soles are standard in all interior areas.

Engine Room

The Fleming 55 engine room is meticulously well thought out and provides easy accessibility to every piece of equipment.

A signature feature of the Fleming 55 is its quietness and freedom from vibration. Much of the credit for this lies with the Aquadrive system, which isolates the engine and transmission from the propeller thrust, permitting the use of much softer engine mounts. Aquadrive is fitted as standard on every Fleming 55 and their rotating couplings are concealed beneath fiberglass covers for safety.

Another reason for the quietness of the Fleming is the careful attention paid to sound insulation. Lead/foam insulation is used extensively throughout and all hatches are dogged down on rubber gaskets. There are even double hatches separated by an air space over each engine.

Fuel tanks are made of fiberglass with integrally molded sumps to allow maximum useage of fuel. Vinylester resin is used in their construction on the interior and fire-retardant resin in the outer layers. The fuel system has been designed to make the transfer of fuel foolproof. It is impossible to inadvertently overfill one tank by incorrectly switching a fuel return valve.

Access to the engine room is via two hatches in the salon sole and from the lazarette through a uniquely shaped oval door designed for easy access. Engine room intake air enters from the lazarette to ensure it is free of salt before reaching the engines and generators.

For safety and convenience each Cummins QSC 500HP engine has a start and a stop button located in the engine room, and a PTO (power take-off) on the gearbox provides hydraulic power for the stabilizers which are standard equipment on all Flemings.

Inside the large lazarette are four polyethylene water tanks totaling 300 gallons (1,135 liters), battery master switches, and a 3,500 watt inverter. Four air conditioning compressors provide heating and cooling for the entire yacht. Against the transom is the steering system with its connection point for the autopilot. The tops for the rudder stocks terminate above the waterline. Despite all this equipment there remains 95 cu. ft. of storage for fenders and other cruising gear. Access to the engine room is through the oval-shaped door.

In many modern designs it has become fashionable to eliminate the inside steering station, but the Fleming 55 features a pilothouse which closely resembles the bridge of a much larger vessel. We created a dedicated place from which the boat is piloted and controlled without any distractions from other on-board activities but which is still only three steps from the salon and galley. Four interior steps safely lead to the upper flying bridge station.

Specially designed removable consoles provide ample room for a full range of modern electronic equipment without intruding on the engine instrumentation. Overhead consoles provide additional space. There is also a proper chart area with drawers and a chart light. Electrical panels swing out to provide easy access to wiring connections and the inside of the flying bridge console is accessed through a swing-out bookcase. The watch-keeper has their own Stidd helm seat and an adjacent, raised L-shaped settee and table provide a comfortable social area with excellent visibility through the side and forward windows.

This is truly the nerve center of the boat where all the systems and crew come together in complete harmony.

CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS

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.

MANAGEMENT & ENVIRONMENT

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 of 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.

• News & Events

This luxury yacht blends the iconic look of the 1931 Wheeler Playmate with modern technology and unrivaled craftsmanship. Experience inspired luxury while cruising the open seas.

A Modern Take On a Beloved Classic

The Wheeler family is building yachts again, and we found our latest inspiration for the new Wheeler 55 in the 1931 Wheeler catalog.

Wheeler was among the iconic custom boat builders of the 1930s – including Herreshoff, Trumpy, Elco and Matthews – who defined the classic look of the era and helped to transform the industry for decades to come.

In the 1930s, Wheeler’s custom-built, all-wood luxury yachts had displacement hulls and gasoline engines and were capable of just 13-15 miles per hour. Only the finest materials and premium equipment available at the time were used: Philippine mahogany interiors, Burmese teak cockpits, Sterling marine engines, monel tanks, oak frames and keels.

These high-end details and American craftsmanship earned Wheeler Yachts a reputation for being the best.

We are proud to continue our tradition of quality with our next generation of yachts. The new Wheeler 55 captures the nostalgia of this great period in shipbuilding history and couples it with today’s modern technologies and comforts.

The Original 50-56′ Playmates

Built in the early 1930s, the original 50- to 56-foot Playmates were artfully constructed for superior seaworthiness and luxury. Wheeler meticulously incorporated the finest materials available, including mahogany cabin, trim and hulls; white oak ribs and frames; and all-bronze fasteners.

With its sleek design features and unrivaled speed, this vessel helped solidify Wheeler’s yacht-making legacy.

The 56-foot Playmate of 1931 was the inspiration for the Wheeler Family to reimagine the new 55-foot model. It was the ultimate luxury vessel for living abroad with two large state rooms, lounge, salon, gallery, promenade deck, and sleeping capacity for six. It was powered with twin Sterling 150 HP gasoline engines with reduction gear and would cruise at 14 to 16 miles per hour.

Filippetti Yacht Sport 55 - Main Deck

Filippetti Yacht Sport 55 - Lower Deck

Filippetti Sport 55: a masterpiece of elegance and power

This sporty coupe is a mix of power, luxury, and comfort..

The Filippetti Sport 55 stands out for her unique personality. Featuring neo-classical lines, she combines elegance, elegant design, and dynamism. CENTROSTILEDESIGN has managed to design a convertible space that, when closed, allows air-conditioning interiors while, when open, offers the same view and spaces as a large seafront penthouse.

A SALONE THAT  GOES BEYOND THE SEA

Thanks to a large sliding glass door , the two living rooms become one with each other and create a huge area that stretches from the pilot station to the large aft sun-bathing platform, enabling an elegant refined environment. The glass door, in fact, is equipped with a special double movement mechanism for partial or total opening.

BUILT WITH THE SAME CARE AS SUPERYACHT

The interiors of the yachts are characterized by a clean linear style : fine wood details with delicate shades match the cream white leather of sofas, the refined parts of furniture, and all yacht ceilings for a highly impressive effect. The night area consists of three cabins and two bathrooms. The full-beam Master Cabin uses all the 4.64 meters of width to offer a huge exclusive refined environment. The VIP Cabin is positioned fore, equipped with a queen-sized bed while the guest cabin is twin-bedded.

UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE AND POWER

The power of this sports coupe is great : thanks to her 50-knot top speed and 40-knot cruising speed, the Filippetti Sport 55 is the most performing model of the Filippetti Yacht Sport series. The secret of such performance is the perfect balance between weight and power as well as an exceptional hull, designed to deliver the best performance at sea without sacrificing comfort and speed. Like the rest of the Filippetti range, this yacht is fully customizable. New owners can choose between two engine options: MAN V8 1,200HP propulsion with Arneson transmission for more power; Volvo Penta 900HP propulsion with IPS transmission for a quieter sailing experience.

Catalina 545: Best Full-Size Cruiser Over 55 Feet

• By Herb McCormick
• Updated: December 9, 2019

So here come the Big Boys: the four finalists in the BOTY Class of 2020 vying for the title of “Mightiest Monohull” of them all. It would not be a cut-and-dry choice, however, as all four contestants were so radically different from one another.

Unfortunately, due to the extreme and unusual weather during the sea-trials portion of the contest (see “A Little Bit of Everything,” page 67), the yacht with perhaps the greatest sailing potential—the Beneteau First Yacht 53—went untested on the water. The 53 is a departure for Beneteau, which is betting big on attracting the performance-cruising segment of the market. So the judges were left to ponder the boat’s fate based on their dockside inspections.

It received high marks. Judge Ed Sherman said: “This is a very interesting boat. It’s actually an outlier in terms of the electrical system in that it’s still using 12 volts, while almost everyone else seems to be evolving to 24 volts. There’s some real innovation happening here. They get kudos for the in-house digital-switching control system they’ve designed, which is pretty slick and enables the owner to control the system with their cellphone, or even remotely via the internet with the onboard Wi-Fi.”

Like the Beneteau, the year’s largest entry, the Hanse 675, comes with a price tag of over $1 million, a major topic of discussion in the final deliberations for the class. And while the judges did get aboard the boat for a test sail, the conditions were so calm that, again, decisions were based largely on the dockside visit. And it also generated positive reviews.

“Mechanically, the systems were very well-done,” judge Ralph Naranjo said. “The idea of using hydraulics for the anchor windlass was great, though I thought the capstan and chain size were quite small. Under sail, we didn’t have a fair evaluation because of lack of wind. But the sails, running rigging and so on were splendid. Under power she did very well, making better than 10 knots at the high end. And she backed down well either way.”

The second of two Bavarias to be introduced in the United States this year was the stout C57. “In terms of installations, the systems are very similar to the C50,” Sherman said. “I’d say Bavarias in general have achieved a point in their construction expertise where they’re on par with Groupe Beneteau boats—they’re all in the same league in terms of the craftsmanship it takes to install commonly requested marine systems.” Naranjo added, “They’ve done an interesting thing with the 57, as they have several different draft versions from which to choose, and the engineering is solid in that they change the ballast with the different draft options.”

That left the 56-plus-foot Catalina 545 , which—spoiler alert—not only was named Best Full-Size Cruiser Over 55 Feet , it also was named the overall Boat of the Year .

“I liked it as soon as I got on it,” judge Dan Spurr said. “I like the looks of it. I like the cockpit layout. The designer and builder, Gerry Douglas, did an excellent job explaining how he put the boat together and the choices that he made. I was impressed by the overall layout abovedecks and below. We didn’t have a ton of wind when we sailed it, but it acquitted itself nicely. It seemed like a pretty straightforward rig that my wife and I could handle pretty comfortably. In other words, it wasn’t complicated. Pricewise, in this category, it was in the same range as the Bavaria but considerably less than the Beneteau or Hanse, which I think is important. It represents good value. It’s a simple boat but one that’s handsome and well-thought-out.”

“The little things did it for me,” Sherman said. “The rigid stainless-steel handrails and the great toe rail. Really chunky stuff. I love the drain down the side of the deck. It was slippery in pretty light air. I mean, we got it up to 5 or 6 knots without any effort at all. I really loved the interior layout too. That forward stateroom with the little daybed was great. And the furniture in the main saloon is solid wood, not laminated stuff. It’s seemingly a minor thing, but it’s actually pretty major in terms of maintaining the value of the boat down the line.”

Many decades ago, Catalina Yachts was launched with the name of the prominent island off the coast where the company was founded. Fittingly, the Catalina 545, the latest and perhaps greatest of all the models that came before it, is an island unto itself.

Exterior design

The owner of the Oceanis 55 will enjoy great sensations and safe sailing on this balanced hull with a comfortable deck plan and a high standard of finish. She includes important innovations, such as the mainsail arch, mast position, balanced sail plan, 45° companionway, and electric swim platform, which all go to make this cruiser easy to handle. Equipped with the Incidence D4 Performance Pack, she is capable of performances second to none.

Interior design

Pioneering, the Oceanis 55 has opted for an outstanding level of interior comfort. With lots of glazed openings, a fully glazed shower for the owner cabin in terms of interior design, she has a wonderfully serene atmosphere.  Her galley is very well equipped and very spacious, her interior can be adapted to multiple layouts, and there is scope for personalizing her ambiance by choosing very different woodwork and linings to create a refined and welcoming atmosphere.  

Bright and a joy to live on

In the cockpit, at anchor, on deck or inside, the Oceanis 55 offers generous well-ventilated spaces. With rectangular portholes offering a view of the horizon, there is plenty to see and lots of light in all circumstances. 

Sunbathing areas

Combined with the cockpit’s L-shaped seats, the two sun-loungers on the roof cleverly provide extra places to relax outside. At anchor, the huge aft platform lowers to provide a terrace at sea level.

Her hull stands out for its bold taut lines and its colour can be personalized over and over again, making her an unprecedentedly stylish cruiser.

Winches at the helm station

The unique design centres all the winches at the helm station so that all manoeuvres can be carried out alone. This is very reassuring on a 55 foot sailing yacht.

Skipper cabin

The fourteen berth version features a double fore cabin for the skipper, meaning that any crew configuration can be envisaged.

Marine Corps narco-boat slated for more experimentation

D rug runner ingenuity is at the heart of an autonomous craft the U.S. Marine Corps wants to use to ferry weapons, food and fuel into the fiercest fights.

The big picture: The Corps is experimenting with what's known as the Autonomous Low-Profile Vessel — a stealthy 55-foot semisubmersible made possible by the Pentagon's Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve.

What they're saying: "Truth be told, it's just a narco-boat. We stole the idea from friends down south," Brig. Gen. Simon Doran, the head of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, said at the Defense News Conference .

Zoom in: The robo-ship can carry a pair of Naval Strike Missiles, ship-sinking munitions used in the Navy/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System, or NMESIS.

Catch up quick: Prototypes have been tested a bunch, including at the Army's 2024 Project Convergence, a crucible for cutting-edge tech, connectivity and international coordination.

• A Multi-Mission Reconnaissance Craft , meant to shuttle Marines and aid targeting, was also photographed at that event.

What's next: The III Marine Expeditionary Force based in Okinawa, Japan, will get to mess with the Autonomous Low-Profile Vessel this fall.

Marine expeditionary force to get autonomous ‘narco boat’ for experimentation

By Jon Harper

September 4, 2024

The III Marine Expeditionary Force will soon receive a new semi-submersible unmanned platform known as the autonomous low-profile vessel, according to the commander of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory.

The unit, based in the Indo-Pacific in Okinawa, Japan, will experiment with the system as the service pursues new capabilities to keep troops out of harm’s way and better position them to operate in contested environments against advanced adversaries such as China.

“One of the critical things … is how do you resupply [Marines in dangerous areas], whether that’s just food, fuel, ammunition?” Brig. Gen. Simon Doran said Wednesday at the Defense News Conference. “If you have that unit located inside a weapons engagement zone, contested logistics and the ability to maneuver in the littorals becomes key. And for that, what we’re looking at is trying to acquire systems that we deem risk worthy, meaning that we don’t necessarily want to just waste them, but we’d rather put something in there that’s autonomous, that doesn’t have humans on it, that can do some of these higher-risk missions without having personnel put in that riskier situation.”

Through the Pentagon’s Rapid Defense Experimentation Research ( RDER ) effort, a signature initiative of Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Heidi Shyu, the Corps was able to accelerate its autonomous low-profile vessel (ALPV) technology effort.

Doran suggested the system is similar to those that drug traffickers have used.

“Truth be told, this is just a narco boat. You know, we stole the idea from friends down south,” Doran joked. “And so this is, you know, 55-feet long, completely autonomous. It’s able to go hundreds or thousands of miles. It’s able to carry weapon systems that we have that are new. It can carry fuel. It can carry food. It can carry pretty much anything you want to put in it.”

The III MEF, a key “stand-in force” unit highlighted in Commandant Gen. Eric Smith’s new planning guidance , is about to get its hands on the technology.

“We will actually be sending the ALPV out to III MEF later on this fall for them to, you know, start to experiment with it. And it kind of goes back a little bit to the question about how do you determine which, you know, new technology or technologies will be the ones where you want to place your bets? And part of that is getting it into the hands of the Marines, you know, because our Marines find unique ways to use equipment almost each and every day,” Doran said.

The service has already been putting the technology through its paces in other venues, including at a Project Convergence capstone event earlier this year, part of which took place at Camp Pendleton, California.

In one case, the Corps was able to train a Marine to use the system in only three weeks. Using proliferated low-Earth orbit communications technology, that service member at a location in Japan was able to drive the platform off the west coast of the United States, according to Doran.

“That’s an example there of a capability that then can enable us to have resupply with a risk-worthy vessel in contested environments, and then help resupply the force,” he said.

But more experimentation is needed with these types of unmanned technologies as the Marines and the U.S. military writ large look to incorporate them into the force.

Safety is still a concern, Doran noted.

“Even though I have an autonomous vessel that can go hundreds or thousands of miles, I’ve got to have a chase ship with it to make sure that it actually works. And so then, how do you do that transition to where you’re comfortable with having these autonomous fleets, you know, traveling the seas and making sure that they’re doing it safely so that they’re not, you know, in conflict with commerce or anything else that’s out there? So that’s something we’re struggling with, but that’s part of our test plan to make sure that we can demonstrate the capability for this particular ship,” he said.

Described as a floating haven by Cosmopolitan, the multihull has an impressive interior volume of 500 GT and offers nearly 6,500 square feet of deck space. The living quarters are replete with “state-of-the-art amenities and luxurious finishes,” according to the yard.

The spacious layout includes four VIP guest cabins, one owner’s suite with a private terrace, three crew cabins, and a captain’s cabin. The guest accommodation is spread across the lower and main decks, while the owner’s cabin can be positioned on either the main deck or the bridge deck. The crew quarters are located on the lower deck, along with the crew mess, galley, and laundry.

The 125 offers more than just a place to sleep, of course. The main deck is home to a large living room with a TV and game area, while the upper deck is outfitted with a giant dining area and bar. A second bar and a gym can be found on the lower deck. Alfresco lounges are positioned forward and aft, while a helipad sits on the uppermost deck.

One of the standout features of the 125 is the beach club. The innovative platform is fitted with expandable terraces that open directly over the water to transform the stern into what Cosmopolitan calls “a private waterfront resort.” The sprawling space, which affords guests direct and easy access to the sea, can be used for sunbathing, swimming, or sundowners.
