What Makes the Back Cove 372 Yachts Great?

The Back Cove 372 yacht builds upon the legacy of the beloved Back Cove 37. Launched in 2009, the initial run enjoyed over eleven years of success, leading to more than 200 units sold. When the manufacturing molds wore out, it was an opportunity for designers to incorporate insights from owner experiences and modern design advancements, resulting in the Back Cove 372, which retains its predecessor’s charm while adding new functionalities.

Innovative Design and Thoughtful Enhancements

The Back Cove 372 introduces a more efficient 24V DC electrical system, which reduces the overall weight and increases the runtime of bow and optional stern thrusters. This upgrade demonstrates a commitment to performance efficiency. The standard engine is a Cummins QSC 8.3 600hp diesel, which features a 7-inch display. For those favoring an alternative, a Volvo Penta D8 engine is available. This choice aligns with a notable owner trend: Over 95% of Back Cove 37 owners opted for larger engines, reflecting a preference for enhanced power and cruising capabilities.

Comfort and Convenience for Modern Yachting

Internal design elements of the Back Cove 372 focus on enhanced visibility and comfort. The fixed-glazed pilothouse windows have improved the sightlines, complemented by a center-opening windshield and a redesigned helm pod for reduced glare. Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, the pilothouse combines practicality with an inviting atmosphere.

A reconfiguration of the head introduces an expanded medicine cabinet, a large over-sink mirror, and an updated shower stall – small but meaningful upgrades that cater to the needs of modern yachting lifestyles. Ensuring everyday usability and comfort, these adjustments make extended time aboard more enjoyable.

Versatility and Lifestyle Adaptation

Modern yachting also involves a greater emphasis on leisure and relaxation. The Back Cove 372 has a new aft-facing cockpit seat on the starboard side, complete with a folding armrest and drink holder. The new salon door on the port side features a bi-fold window above the aft-facing seat, creating an opened-up, interactive space that encourages socializing and relaxation during voyages.

With a deck and cockpit designed for utility, the yacht includes integrated storage solutions, a transom door on centerline, a swim platform with a stainless steel under-mount swim ladder, and a hot and cold cockpit shower. These features aim to enhance the overall yachting experience by providing spaces for fun and functionality.

The hull also showcases a prop pocket for improved hydrodynamics. On deck, the use of stainless steel handrails and concealed under hardtop ensures safety without compromising aesthetics.

Lighting plays a critical role, with LED deck lights and navigation lights ensuring visibility and safety. Mooring is facilitated with cleats positioned forward, aft, and mid-ships for versatility.

Mechanical robustness is a hallmark of the Back Cove 372. Equipped with a Cummins QSC 8.3 600 mhp electronic-controlled engine paired with ZF gear, the yacht ensures a smooth and powerful ride.

The electrical systems are state-of-the-art, encompassing a 9.0 KW generator with sound shielding, AGM battery banks for both house and engine starts, and courtesy lighting throughout. Safety systems such as a Fireboy clean agent fire extinguishing system provide peace of mind for crew and passengers alike.

Interior Details and Comfort Features

The interior design of the Back Cove 372 offers cruise-friendly layouts and high-quality materials. Cherry book racks at the dinette, plush seating, and smart space utilization define the living areas. The galley showcases an electric induction two-burner cooktop, stainless steel drawer-type fridge/freezer compartments, and an array of storage solutions, ensuring that all culinary needs are met at sea.

In the master stateroom, amenities include an island queen berth with storage, a cedar-lined hanging locker, and reading lights, providing a cozy retreat. The guest stateroom continues the theme of comfort with varnished cherry joinery, a Lewmar hatch with screens, and ample storage, ensuring guests have a pleasant stay.

Entertainment and Modern Connectivity

For entertainment, a 32” LED Smart TV is available, and the yacht is SiriusXM ready via a Fusion Apollo stereo with Bluetooth and NMEA 2k capabilities. For those who wish to stay connected, CAT5E cables are run to TV locations, and AC/DC/USB charging stations ensure devices remain powered.
