The Back Cove 34 (called the Back Cove 33 until 2012) is a handsome Down East cruiser whose single-diesel efficiency, versatile layout, and leading-edge construction made her one of the more appealing boats in her class. Like all Back Cove models, the 34 rides on a vacuum-bagged, PVC-cored hull with a reverse transom and a shallow prop pocket. The layout is as simple as it is elegant; a large bench seat in the cockpit and raised dinette on the semi-enclosed bridge deck provide seating for family and friends. Note that the in-line galley is positioned behind the helm, opposite the dinette, rather than in the cabin. The entire bridge deck lifts on hydraulic rams for engine access. Below deck is a large and comfortable V-berth forward, convertible L-settee with inlaid teak table to port, and a large head with separate stall shower to starboard. (Note that a queen berth forward is standard in the 34 model. The cabin is finished with varnished cherry joinery, premium hardware, and an elegant teak and holly sole. Wide side decks are a plus, and a standard helm chair and bow/stern thrusters are standard. The 2013 Back Cove 34 No Pressure is conveniently located in the Orleans Marina at 221 Lake Marina Ave, New Orleans, LA 70124, which is only a short drive from the New Orleans International Airport (MSY).

Stepping aboard "No Pressure", the 2013 Back Cove 34, you immediately notice the classic Downeast styling combined with thoughtful cruising functionality that has made this model one of Back Cove’s most admired designs.
Cockpit
Boarding from the swim platform, you enter a spacious teak-trimmed cockpit designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The cockpit offers generous seating with a comfortable settee along the transom and ample space for movable chairs or a cockpit table. Wide side decks and tall coamings provide a secure feeling when moving forward. Engine room access is conveniently located beneath the cockpit sole, allowing excellent serviceability for routine maintenance.
Helm Deck
Moving forward through the large sliding glass door, you arrive at the **helm deck**, one of the most inviting areas on the boat. Large windows and the hardtop enclosure provide excellent visibility while keeping the space bright and airy.
To starboard, the helm station is thoughtfully arranged with full engine instrumentation, navigation electronics, and excellent sightlines in all directions. The captain’s seat offers comfortable seating for extended cruising, while the adjacent companion seat allows guests to join underway.
To port is a welcoming **L-shaped dinette**, perfect for enjoying meals or relaxing while underway. The elevated seating position provides great views through the large windows, making this area a favorite gathering spot whether cruising or at anchor.
Galley
Just a few steps down from the helm deck is the **well-equipped galley**, located to port. The layout provides generous counter space, refrigeration, cooktop, microwave, and abundant storage for provisions and cookware. The open connection to the salon above keeps the galley bright and social while maintaining separation from the helm deck.
Salon and Accommodations
Forward of the galley is a comfortable **salon settee** that easily converts for additional sleeping accommodations if needed. Rich cherry joinery, warm lighting, and thoughtful cabinetry create the refined interior finish that Back Cove is known for.
Continuing forward, the **owner’s stateroom** features a large island berth with easy access from both sides, hanging lockers, and plentiful storage for extended cruising. Overhead hatches and opening ports provide natural light and ventilation.
Head
The **enclosed head** is located to starboard and includes a separate shower stall, vanity with sink, and additional storage. The practical layout allows comfortable use whether cruising for a weekend or longer coastal passages.
Deck
Access to the foredeck is easy via the wide side decks and sturdy stainless handrails. The foredeck features a windlass, anchor platform, and ample space for handling ground tackle safely when arriving or departing anchorages.
With her **efficient single diesel propulsion, classic Downeast lines, and beautifully finished interior**, *No Pressure* offers a refined and comfortable cruising experience that is perfectly suited for coastal cruising, harbor hopping, or extended weekends aboard.
