The award-winning Back Cove 34O is Back Cove’s first-ever outboard-powered model, a Downeast style motor yacht with classic style and modern technology. Accordingly, the revolutionary hull design features Back Cove’s proprietary Trailing Edge Lifting Surface (TRELIS), which gets her on plane faster and requires less horsepower than traditional hull designs. Also capable of a 30-knot cruise and top-end speeds in excess of 40 knots, the Back Cove 34O will extend your cruising grounds, bringing new destinations within range and reducing travel time.

Above Deck

The cockpit is meant for entertaining with an aft-facing seat that converts into additional salon seating. Meanwhile at the helm, the captain will enjoy 360-degree sightlines, surrounded by large opening windows for abundant light and air. Then to port, a comfortable mate’s seat is the perfect perch while underway. When at anchor, the mate’s seatback slides forward, creating an elegant and social U-shaped settee. Finally, to starboard and aft of the helm is the fully equipped on-deck galley with convection microwave, two-burner electric cooktop, and ample storage.

Below Deck

Below, the Back Cove 34O offers a comfortable queen-sized island berth outfitted with storage drawers and spacious outboard shelves. Then aft of the berth, it features a split head and shower unit that ensures the owners are comfortable no matter how long their journey. Finally, extra provisions, water toys, and other accouterments will find their perfect home in the Back Cove 34O’s sizable storage space, conveniently located beneath the salon sole.
