The Back Cove 34O marks a bold evolution for a beloved Downeast brand-combining timeless design with modern outboard performance. Now available in stock with Bluewater Yacht Sales, this award-winning model delivers exceptional efficiency and speed thanks to Back Cove's proprietary TRELIS hull design, getting on plane quickly with less horsepower while comfortably cruising at 30 knots and reaching speeds over 40 knots. Whether you're covering distance or enjoying a relaxed day on the water, the 34O expands your cruising possibilities.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the 34O's cockpit flows seamlessly into the helm deck. An aft-facing seat converts to create a social, connected space, while large opening windows and 360-degree sightlines bring in natural light and fresh air. The mate's seat transforms into a versatile U-shaped settee at anchor, making it an inviting gathering spot. To starboard, the well-appointed on-deck galley features a convection microwave, two-burner cooktop, and generous storage-perfect for extended outings.
Below, the accommodations are thoughtfully arranged for comfort and practicality. A queen-sized island berth offers easy access and ample storage, while a split head and shower provide added privacy and convenience. Additional storage beneath the salon sole ensures there is room for gear, provisions, and water toys.
This particular 34O is tastefully equipped with Back Cove White hull gelcoat, a dark blue boot stripe, and gold cove stripe detailing. Upgrades including Lebroc helm chairs, Ultraleather seating, SureShade cockpit awning, synthetic teak swim step, 7.5 kW generator, helm air conditioning, and a full trim package enhance both comfort and style. Practical additions like an anchor windlass, cockpit washdowns, automatic outboard flushing system, and power center opening window make operation and ownership effortless.
Blending classic aesthetics with forward-thinking performance and comfort, the Back Cove 34O is an ideal choice for those seeking refined day cruising and overnight capability alike.
