2016 Back Cove 34

The Back Cove 34 is a beautifully crafted Downeast-style cruiser that combines classic lines, exceptional comfort, and efficient cruising in one highly capable package. Designed for relaxed cruising, she offers a spacious, thoughtfully appointed interior with a galley up and well-designed seating. It is very hard to find a 34' boat with a center island berth, stall shower, and sleeping accommodations for 4-5 people, that makes the Back Cove 34 an excellent choice for family and couples cruising. Equipped with a single Cummins diesel engine and bow and stern thrusters she is low maintenance and easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

Encore is an excellent example of this very popular model, she has been well-cared-for with a ton of recent capital upgrades, making her arguably the best available Back Cove 34 on the market.
