Glens Falls Business Journal - Press Release

Dockside Landing Boat and Yacht Sales, a Lake George area boat dealer, announced the addition of Back Cove Yachts to its lineup of Formula and Regal sport boats and yachts. 

 “Dockside Landing’s marine operation encompasses over 30,000 square feet of indoor sales and storage space throughout our three locations offering sales and service from the Hudson Valley to the Canadian border,” said Jennifer Litwa, marketing manager.   “We are very excited to add Back Cove Yachts to our extensive lineup,” Litwa said. 

 Back Cove Yachts is a sister company of Sabre Yachts, which has produced over 2,300 hulls since it was founded in 1970.  Back Cove originated in 2004 when Sabre purchased North End Composites, a major mold and boat builder in Maine. The idea was to provide and affordable alternative to the higher priced “custom” Down East style yachts that have become popular.

 Back Cove’s are a high-quality single engine diesel yacht based on Maine’s Down East style known for seaworthiness, hand-craftsmanship, and masterfully designed interiors with exquisite woodworking, Litwa said. The term “Down East” is synonymous with the Maine Lobster Boat appearance, offering stunning lines from its spoon bow to a sloping transom.

Every Back Cove model is built on a platform of safety, reliability, anddependability combined with exceptional fuel economy, the company said.  Back Cove Yachts range in length from 26 to 33 feet. Bentley Collins, vice president of marketing and sales for Back Cove, is pleased with the appointment of Dockside Landing as Back Cove’s exclusive dealer for the Adirondack region. “We feel that Lake George and Lake Champlain boaters will find the Back Cove style and simplicity very appealing,” said Collins.

Dockside Landing is known for its success with Formula and most recently, Regal. Formula boats are famous for their performance and quality. According to the company, Formula is essentially four boat companies in one: the Sun Sport series; of bowriders, cuddys, and sport cruisers 24-40 feet; the PC series of cruisers from 27-40 feet; the FasTech series of high-speed performance boats from 27-38 feet;  and the Yacht series of vessels 45-48 feet. 

 “As many of you know, there are a lot of new Formulas on the water. This is the next generation of boating,” said ay Craig Merrell, owner of Dockside Landing.  “People are tired of spending a lot of money for mediocre performance and lackluster quality.  Formula Boats stand out from the crowd, offering a feeling of quality and prestige that can’t be experienced in any other boat.”
