Join us for a cruise aboard the Back Cove 34O, the first Back Cove Yachts designed from the ground up for outboard propulsion.

Editor-in-Chief Dan Harding and Managing Editor Simon Murray build tables for a pair of Back Coves. Who’s is better? They’ll never agree.

Join the editors as they learn how the Back Cove tables are sealed in epoxy.

Set to splash in August, the Back Cove 340 combines an outboard-optimized hull design with the proven, popular interior of its 32. Discover the future of the Back Cove brand here.
