Back Cove Yachts – A Comfortable and Efficient Cruiser

2025-07-11

Imagine gliding effortlessly across the water, the gentle hum of a single diesel engine beneath you, and the timeless beauty of Downeast craftsmanship surrounding you. That’s the experience Back Cove Yachts delivers.

At Petzold’s Yacht Sales, we have the latest edition of the Back Cove 372 in stock, an upgraded version of the beloved Back Cove 37. With refined details, enhanced comfort, and fuel-efficient performance, this yacht is built to make every journey more enjoyable.

If you’re searching for a cruiser that blends style, practicality, and ease of use, Back Cove Yachts should be at the top of your list of power boats to buy this year. Let’s explore what makes these vessels stand out amongst the rest.

A Look at Back Cove Yachts

Where It All Began

Back Cove Yachts was founded in 2003 as a sister company to Sabre Yachts. The goal was simple — design a smaller, Downeast-style boat that would capture the look and feel of a Maine lobster boat while keeping things simple with a single diesel engine.

This approach resulted in a line of boats that are:

  • Fuel-efficient thanks to their single-engine design
  • Well-built with strong fiberglass hulls and high-quality materials
  • Stylish and practical with a classic aesthetic and modern conveniences

Over the years, Back Cove has continued refining its models, creating boats that are easy to handle while offering the kind of reliability that boaters appreciate.

Reasons to Choose a Back Cove Yacht

Fuel Economy and Performance

Back Cove Yachts are designed with a single diesel engine, which means:

  • Lower fuel consumption compared to multi-engine setups
  • Easier maintenance with fewer parts to service
  • A smooth, steady ride that works well for long cruises

Ease of Use

Boating should be stress-free, and Back Cove Yachts are designed to keep your time on the water and in the harbor simple. Features like bow and stern thrusters, intuitive controls, and clear sight lines make docking and handling easier.

Comfort and Design

From the cabin to the cockpit, these boats are built for relaxation. Expect:

  • Open, airy layouts with plenty of seating
  • Well-appointed galleys with practical storage
  • Comfortable sleeping spaces for extended stays

Built to Last

Back Cove’s fiberglass hulls and high-end finishes ensure that these boats stay in great shape over time. Their strong resale value reflects the demand for quality-built cruisers.

How People Use Back Cove Yachts

Coastal Cruising

A smooth ride and efficient fuel use make these boats perfect for longer trips along the coast.

Relaxing Days on the Water

Whether on a lake, river, or bay, the spacious decks and comfortable seating make Back Cove models great for taking it easy on the water.

Weekend Getaways and Vacations

With roomy cabins, galleys, and sleeping areas, these boats work well for overnight stays and multi-day trips.

Entertaining on Board

Plenty of space for seating, dining, and relaxing means these boats are a great place to gather with friends and family.
