Back Cove Plant Tours

I am often asked "if it would be OK to come for a plant tour?" Are you kidding me? We are so proud of what we do and how we do it that we welcome all plant tours at Back Cove Yachts. In fact the "yard" (as we call them in Maine) is our best selling tool so be forewarned that if you come to the yard you may end up buying a boat whether that was what you started out to do or not.

 

The Back Cove yard is the large building in the center right and in the lower left corner of this image is  the old shop where the first Back Cove 29's and 26's were built. By chance, as the popularity of the Back Cove began to grow, the building across the street where Nautica once made and warehoused their clothing line, became available and we decided to purchase this magnificent facility. The conversion to boat building was accomplished and today we have one of the best boat building facilities in the country.

If your spring and summer travels call for a trip to Maine, be sure to call and set up a tour. You won't be disappointed and you'll enjoy what you see. We would welcome your visit Monday through Thursday.

You bet you can tour. We do work four ten hour days and then let the shop go dark for three days including Friday but the office staff is there and we can show you 30's in production. How about calling us to set something up for Friday? 207 594 8821

We would love to tour when the 30 is in production, Presently in Maine return to Canada on friday. Is friday a good day to tour?

I too hope to be a back cove owner one day and look forward to come and tour the facility in Rockport.

Thanks for the open invite and looking forward to cruising the main coast.

Thanks,

Jim nice to hear from you. We would always appreciate a little head's up before a visit if that is possible. We work four x ten hour days, Monday through Thursday at Back Cove, a common pratice in boatbuilding shops of the mid-coast.
We love showing off our process and our associates really like to speak to our visitors about their roles.

On a recent trip to Rockland for a schooner cruise, we saw a Back Cove on trailer traveling South. Turns out it was the new 30. Remembering Back Cove was in Rockland, a few clicks on the iPhone and a gps plot, we arrived unannounced at the factory door near closing time. We were greeted warmly and saw the new 30 on the production line along side a 33. Highly recommend seeing the factory and understanding what makes this a great boat. Thanks from a future owner.
