The Back Cove 29 is a 29-foot fiberglass express cruiser built for both day trips and extended coastal cruising. Powered by a single Yanmar diesel engine, it combines fuel efficiency with reliable performance and straightforward handling, even for smaller crews. The boat features traditional styling and solid construction typical of Back Cove Yachts, a Maine builder known for semi-custom powerboats that prioritize quality and practical design.
The layout centers on a spacious aft cockpit well-suited for entertaining or fishing, with easy water access. Forward, a V-berth provides sleeping quarters, while the cabin includes a galley with microwave, refrigerator, and stove. A head with shower sits on the port side. The boat offers ample storage for provisions and a clean, functional interior with a settee in the salon area. A hardtop with full enclosure options supports all-weather operation.
The diesel engine delivers fuel-efficient cruising at 18–22 knots, with a top speed around 25–30 knots depending on load and conditions. Single-screw propulsion contributes to the boat's stable, predictable handling across varying sea states. The traditional aesthetic extends throughout, with careful attention to woodwork and finish details that appeal to both modern and conventional boaters seeking a manageable, stylish cruiser for coastal waters and weekend exploration.
