The helm seat is also covered in the same Ultraleather and give you full command of your controls and electronics. The Garmin 7612 gives you a chartplotter and radar for your navigational needs. The VHF is conveniently located just under the engine controls.

The Galley is well equipped for a boat of this size. She has a built in cook-top, a Stainless Steel sink and a built in trash barrel all with covers to give plenty of prep area.

Back Cove 30: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Back Cove 30 is a downeast-style cruiser designed for comfortable and capable coastal cruising. Measuring 30 feet 6 inches in length overall with a beam of 11 feet 2 inches, this vessel features prop pockets that reduce its draft to just 2 feet 6 inches, allowing access to shallow waters. It is engineered to balance performance, functionality, and comfort for weekend adventures or extended coastal passages.

Power and Performance

The Back Cove 30 is powered by a single diesel engine, with options ranging from 315 to 370 horsepower from manufacturers such as Yanmar, Cummins, and Volvo Penta. The test boat was equipped with a new Yanmar 8LV 370 HP engine, installed with ample space for routine maintenance and inspections. The vessel weighs 12,000 pounds empty, and during testing with fuel and crew onboard, it reached a top speed of 28.3 knots at 3,800 rpm, consuming 18.7 gallons per hour. This equated to a fuel efficiency of 1.52 nautical miles per gallon and a range of 224 nautical miles. The most efficient cruising speed was 20.2 knots at 3,000 rpm, burning 10.5 gallons per hour, which extended the range to 284 nautical miles. The boat planes quickly, achieving 20 miles per hour in approximately 10.6 seconds.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The Back Cove 30’s exterior emphasizes safety and functionality. Wide side decks with well-placed grab handles and sturdy side rails facilitate easy and secure movement from cockpit to bow. The bow features a molded pulpit with a stainless steel anchor roller and a windlass with dual foot controls positioned on either side for convenient operation. A hatch behind the pulpit provides storage for fenders and lines as well as access to the anchor rode, complemented by a freshwater washdown. The cockpit offers wraparound seating with an open transom gate, creating a comfortable lounging area. Steps on either side of the cockpit ease boarding from fixed piers. The helm deck is enclosed with curtains for three-season comfort and includes opposing seating arrangements, with the starboard seats raised and a dining table between them. The port seat converts into an additional berth complete with a privacy curtain, responding directly to customer feedback. Storage is integrated beneath the seats, and a hardtop with LED lighting and an opening hatch enhances usability and ventilation. The helm area benefits from high windows providing excellent visibility, adjustable tilt steering, and a comfortable, fully adjustable Aragone helm seat.

Helm and Operational Features

The helm station is thoughtfully designed with ample space for electronics installation. To port, a fully customizable Yanmar digital display provides engine data, while controls for the standard bow thruster and optional stern thruster are conveniently located just ahead. Rocker switches with circuit breakers are arranged above, and trim tab controls sit adjacent to the engine controls, which offer smooth and effortless operation. The helm features adjustable footrests and a tilt steering wheel, with excellent visibility afforded by large, high windows and opening side windows that improve sightlines during docking. The observer seat is double-wide and forward-facing, matching the captain’s commanding view. Additional amenities include a flat dash space suitable for charts secured by a grab handle and an optional ice maker installed under the seat.

Interior Living Spaces

Below deck, the Back Cove 30 presents a warm and refined interior characterized by varnished cherry woodwork and meticulous joinery. The salon features a convertible v-seating and dinette arrangement forward, which can be transformed into a v-berth with a filler board and cushions stored conveniently beneath the seating. Storage is abundant both under the seats and behind the backrests, while wood paneling and a faux teak and holly sole contribute to a classic nautical ambiance. A removable shelf and an overhead hatch provide additional functionality and natural light. To port, a wet head offers ample space and ventilation through an opening port light with a privacy shade. The galley to starboard is compact but well-appointed, offering generous storage and counter space suitable for preparing meals for a group. The ship’s electrical panel is located on the aft bulkhead above the galley, and the cabinetry features dovetail joinery, underscoring the quality craftsmanship.

Conclusion

The Back Cove 30 is a thoughtfully designed and well-executed downeast cruiser that balances performance, comfort, and practical features. Its shallow draft, efficient power options, and well-laid-out deck and interior spaces make it a versatile vessel capable of handling weekend excursions or extended coastal cruising. The attention to detail in both fit and finish, combined with customer-driven design enhancements, positions the Back Cove 30 as a compelling choice for those seeking a capable and attractive cruiser for varied cruising environments.
