2018 Back Cove 32

BELLA FAMIGLIA is an outstanding example of her class, and an exceptional class it is. The Back Cove 32 Express Cruiser ticks every box and demonstrates why these boats are in such high demand and why Back Cove Yachts of Rockland, Maine, has been so incredibly successful. The "32" was first introduced in 2016 and BELLA FAMIGLIA was built and delivered in 2018 and in many, many ways still shows and operates like a brand-new version of herself.  Standard winning features include: centerline transom door; single-level cockpit and pilothouse; convertible dinette with double forward-facing settee across from helm; bow-and (optional) stern  thruster; sliding side windows/overhead hatches and a front opening windshield panel; stand-alone shower compartment; centerline berth; hardtop; excellent engine room access via electric opening hatch- all combined on a darn good looking boat. 

BELLA FAMIGLIA also features notable options including the VOLVO 435hp electronic diesel, Zipwake automatic trim tabs, (2) zone reverse-cycle A/C system, 7.5 kW Onan-Cummins genset, a QUICK electric / mechanical anchor windlass, a SURESHADE electric cockpit awning and more! She also sports a superb Flag Blue Awlgrip painted hull with state-of-the-art Ceramic protection on the topsides paint and all exterior gel coat surfaces. The electronics suite includes GARMIN navigation with AIS, digital HD radar & autopilot, a FLIR 232 night vision camera and a kickin’ Bluetooth stereo system. 

Light seasonal usage first in New England and more recently out of the Safe Harbor Burnt Store Marina in Punta Gorda, Florida, this yacht has enjoyed indoor storage when not in use and it shows! Serviced by The Hinckley Company under current fastidious ownership, with all maintenance up to date and up to snuff. 

We invite your inspection and are confident condition will not disappoint. 

Of note: there is a long waiting list for slips at Burnt Store Marina and if desired, BELLA FAMIGLIA can be purchased with her slip included as part of a deal.
