2017 Back Cove 37

Gloucester, Massachusetts

$619,000

HALF MOON is thoughtfully equipped for all types of cruising. A long list of conscious upgrades by an avid cruiser make this particular Back Cove 37 even more comfortable and practical. 

The Back Cove 37 has to be one of the most coveted Downeast boats out there. Efficient, relatively fast, excellent sea capability, a superior layout, quality construction, etc.. There's a reason why these 37s maintain great re-sale values and remain in high demand with a following after such a long production run. 

HALF MOON is a vee-style hull with downward turning chines forward. This allows the boat to get on plane easily, with very little bow rise. The 37 has a single 600 hp diesel engine, with bow/stern thruster.  

She is sporty and low maintenance adding to the joy in ownership and her design holds on to her classic Maine upbringing.
