Introducing a meticulously maintained 2016 Back Cove 34, a testament to modern craftsmanship and traditional design, located in Essex, CT. This model, drawing inspiration from the iconic Maine lobster boat, combines elegance with practicality, featuring wide side decks and oversized handrails for safe and easy movement around the vessel. At 38.42 feet in length, it presents an ideal size for both seasoned sailors and newcomers to boating. The yacht underwent a significant upgrade in 2021, receiving a fresh coat of Flag Blue paint using premium Awlcraft 2000 for enhanced fade resistance, ensuring it continues to turn heads in any harbor. Powered by a robust Cummins QSB6.7 inboard diesel engine with 480 HP and only 475 engine hours, it promises reliable and powerful performance. The addition of a 6.0 Kw Kohler generator, with just 45 operational hours, underscores the yacht’s readiness for extended cruising.

Its integrated “Easy Dock” system, featuring variable speed bow and stern thrusters, ensures docking is a breeze in any condition. Comfort is paramount, with dual helm and cabin AC reverse cycle units for optimal temperature control, complemented by custom teak helm decking and ultra-leather helm cushions. Navigation and safety are taken to the next level with a full Garmin electronics package and advanced features like underwater lights and a remote-controlled LED spotlight. Practicality extends to its ample refrigeration units, Xantrex 1800 Inverter system for efficient power management, and comprehensive anchoring system. The yacht’s construction utilizes VIP (Vacuum Infused Process) with a PVC foam core sandwich, offering strength and quiet operation. This vessel, having been owned by individuals now retiring from boat ownership, shows signs of meticulous care and comprehensive maintenance, making it a compelling option for anyone looking to embrace the cruising lifestyle with a boat that marries tradition and innovation seamlessly.

BrochureThe Maine boat building industry has, for centuries, produced rugged, sea going vessels. Today the popularity of the downeast motoryacht continues to grow worldwide, with boats such as the new Back Cove 34 leading the way. Her vee-hull and dependable diesel engine get her on plane at ten knots, and she will cruise effi ciently and comfortably at 20 knots while sipping fuel at less than 12 US gallons per hour. Her hull has downward turning chines and long spray rails to provide additional lift and push spray down and away from the windshield. Built using Back Cove Yachts VIP resin infusion process, she is both strong and quiet. Airex coring is used as a sandwich material to reduce engine and exhaust noise, and the best deck hardware is selected to reduce hardware rattles and for it’s long lasting good looks. On deck she is as practical and well laid out as the other models in the Back Cove range. Wide side decks, oversized hand rails, always a hand hold wherever needed, highest quality hatches and portlights, large dimension mooring cleats: all features you have come to expect from Back Cove Yachts. In her cockpit an L-shaped bench seat and an aft facing seat are wonderful places from which to enjoy a day on the water. The Back Cove story began in 2003 when Back Cove Yachts and the design team from her sister company, Sabre Yachts, collaborated to create and introduce a simple but elegant power boat range, answering concerns from the market that too many companies were designing increasingly larger boats. The styling was to be reminiscent of the Maine lobster boat: a spoon bow, a gently sloped reverse transom and a touch of tumblehome in the topsides were blended to create a striking and elegant style. From a practical perspective, systems were to be simple and effi cient to minimize the cost of ownership. A single diesel engine propulsion system and standard bow thruster were chosen for effi ciency and maneuverability in tight spaces. These practical design features continue to strike a chord in the marketplace and the Back Cove 34 has already received rave reviews from the public and the marine press. Below deck the Back Cove 34 offers a roomy and inviting interior. With 6’ 5” of interior height she is one of the most spacious boats in her class. Forward is a comfortable island berth, with large cedar lined hanging locker to starboard and additional storage to port. Below the berth top are several convenient drop in storage spaces and large dovetailed drawers. Aft and to port an L-settee converts into a sleeper, and is enclosed with a Sunbrella privacy curtain. Air and light stream into this space through a large overhead deck hatch and through four openings ports in the coach roof. To starboard is an easily maintained head compartment enclosed with an elegant cherry bulkhead. The head unit has a separate stall shower – a feature rarely found in a 34 footer. Her fresh water fl ush MSD and standard macerator are standard features. The counter top is made of Solid Surface Material. On her helm deck, the sense of spaciousness is impressive. A raised dinette with an elegant inlaid table will seat four for dinner and can also be converted to form an additional sleeping berth. This entire space is surrounded by large opening windows, as well as hatches in the overhead. To starboard is a well equipped galley with a deep stainless steel sink, cherry cabinets, dovetailed drawers, microwave oven and two burner cooktop. A solid surface countertop adds to the beauty and functionality of her bright and airy galley. Two fridge/ freezer units are found below the helm and mates seats. When underway the standard Stidd helm chair is a superb and comfortable seat that will help reduce fatigue during long periods at the helm. And to port, the mate’s seat is an equally comfortable spot. A tilting helm pump and large surfaces for mounting navigational electronics are but two of the many features provided at the helm. Large windshields, each equipped with a strong wiper and washer, provide a great view of the sea ahead.
