Back Cove 34: Where Classic Elegance Meets Modern Adventure

Crafted along the rugged, boat-building shores of Maine, the Back Cove 34 isn't just a Downeast-style cruiser—it’s a tribute to timeless maritime heritage with all the power and refinement that modern boaters crave. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning mist or carving through sparkling coastal waters, this vessel strikes a rare balance of aesthetic grace and purposeful engineering.

Power & Performance

• Engine: At its heart beats a Cummins QSB 5.9 480hp diesel—smooth, reliable, and built for effortless long-range cruising.
• Speed: Cruises comfortably around 24 knots with a top-end pushing 30 knots, letting you cover serious water in style.
• Bridge Clearance: With a 12-foot clearance, it glides under most bridges with ease, expanding your cruising territory.
• Fuel Capacity: 185 gallons means fewer fuel stops and more spontaneous detours to hidden coves.
• Fresh & Holding Tanks: 80 gallons of fresh water and a 40-gallon holding tank keep you out longer without compromise.

Interior Sophistication

• Salon: Surrounded by panoramic windows, the salon is a sunlit sanctuary, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The convertible dinette adds flexibility for guests or movie nights under the stars. The Stidd Helm chair provides additional comfort for the Captain while underway. There are dedicated air conditioning/heat consoles for the Captain and co-pilot.
• Galley: Sleek and smart—equipped with a cooktop, microwave, dual refrigerators, and ample storage for gourmet weekends.
• Cabin: Drift off in a queen-sized island berth with built-in drawers, shelves, and serene lighting—a master suite that floats. The dedicated air conditioning/heating console provides comfort for overnight stays in all seasons.
• Head: A split head and shower configuration adds a residential feel and superior comfort for extended trips.

Handling & Smart Tech

• Thrusters: Bow and stern thrusters give fingertip control for tight marina turns or docking in challenging conditions.
• Navigation Suite: Garmin electronics deliver high-precision radar, GPS, and autopilot systems—your co-captain in fog or open water.

Signature Appeal

• Built with legendary Maine craftsmanship, each Back Cove 34 is a love letter to quality and seaworthiness. If you appreciate the advantages of the inboard design, note that the Back Cove 34 is no longer available from the manufacturer with inboard motor, only outboards.
• The solid fiberglass hull dampens wave chatter, ensuring a whisper-quiet ride and exceptional stability.
• The canvas cockpit cover affords shade as do the sun-shade panels on both sides and stern.
• Designed for couples or small families, it's the perfect platform for coastal getaways, sunset cruises, or extended voyages with uncompromising style.
• Merroir has always had indoor winter storage.

The Back Cove 34 is truly understated elegance and efficiency. Classic yet contemporary, powerful yet poised—it’s not just a cruiser, it’s your floating refuge of style and serenity. Let’s take this beauty for a spin and chase the horizon together.
