2018 Back Cove 32

“PATRONA” is an excellent example of the highly regarded Back Cove 32. A limited production run of approximately 45 hulls. The platform is the ideal small motor yacht for cruising couples, blending timeless Downeast style with modern design and fuel-efficient single diesel performance. Her single-level deck and galley-up layout create an open, social environment that flows from the cockpit to the pilothouse. Large windows offer clear sightlines and abundant natural light, while below deck, a private cabin with an island berth and split head provides luxurious comfort. Whether for weekend getaways or day trips, the 32 is a refined and reliable companion.
