The Back Cove 340 Yacht is a masterpiece of yacht design, demonstrating innovative engineering and luxury performance. It stands out as Back Cove’s first outboard-powered model, utilizing the Trailing Edge Lifting Surface (TRELIS) hull. This advanced hull design enables the yacht to get on plane more quickly and requires less horsepower than traditional designs. The boat can cruise comfortably at around 30 knots and reaches top speeds exceeding 40 knots, expanding the range of destinations within reach and significantly reducing travel time.
Design and Layout
Exterior Features
The Back Cove 340 showcases a refined, elegant design that emphasizes comfort and convenience. Its exterior features include a modified deep ‘V’ planing hull and a Back Cove white gelcoat with vinylester backup resin for increased durability. Key design elements like the VIP Resin Infused Hull with PVC foam core bottom and topsides result in a sturdy, lightweight structure.
Walking surfaces on the deck are covered with graystone anti-skid to ensure safety under various conditions. The deck is equipped with several practical features, including mooring cleats, stainless steel anchor roller, and a swim step with an under-mount swim ladder.

Ample light and airflow come from the opening windows surrounding the helm, providing the captain with unparalleled 360-degree sightlines. Additionally, the helm is equipped with a 16-inch Stazo wood grain steering wheel and a Lewmar sliding hatch with OCEANair Skyscreen for added convenience.
