Builder Commentary

Back Cove Yachts award-winning 34O is powered by a pair of Yamaha 300’s, with optional 350 hp Yamaha or Suzuki’s. The entirely new hull features Trailing Edge Lifting Surface (TRELIS) *D* design technology and is fitted with standard bow thruster. The 34O offers cruise and top end speeds approximately 10 knots faster than the traditional single diesel Back Cove. This cockpit is meant for entertaining with an aft facing seat that converts into a helm deck U-shaped dinette or second berth. The standard 5kw diesel generator and cabin A/C below deck coupled with the spacious island berth, separate head and shower remind us that this Back Cove is still intended for cruising. The first 34O will launch late this summer with full production and boat show appearances beginning in September.
