The style of the Down East lobster boat is closely associated with Maine's proud boat building heritage. 'Lady in Blue', a 2012 Back Cove 30, is a wonderful example of everything that makes the Down East lobster boat a work of art. She has a traditional spoon bow and gently sloped transom-a style that turns heads in any harbor while delivering the stable, predictable ride experienced captains value for relaxed coastal cruising. Built in Rockland, Maine with resin-infused deep-V hull and foam-cored construction, she offers the confident seaworthiness and dry ride ideal for day trips with friends or comfortable overnight adventures as a couple.
'Lady in Blue' is being sold by her second owner and shows low use with 720hrs on a reliable Yanmar 315 hp diesel. Full maintenance records are available. A recent polish, wax, and underbody servicing was completed March 2026. This Back Cove is equipped for effortless, low-stress operation, including Side Power bow and stern thrusters for precise docking, updated Garmin electronics, Espar diesel furnace for cool-weather comfort, Achilles tender, and a full winter cover.
