ECLIPSE 505 Interview with Great Lakes Scuttlebutt Magazine
The ECLIPSE 505 Shadow has officially arrived, setting new benchmarks for design, luxury, and performance in the yachting world. At this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Dave Jirikovic of HMY Yachts and Brand Manager of Eclipse Yachts sat down with Eric Kyle from Great Lakes Scuttlebutt magazine to reveal why the 505 Shadow is turning heads across the industry.
A Yacht Packed With Innovation
From the moment you step aboard the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow, its groundbreaking features are undeniable. The drop-in, flush-deck boarding doors ensure effortless access, while convertible seating adapts seamlessly to any occasion—whether entertaining guests or relaxing with family. At the helm, supercar-inspired controls make the driving experience as thrilling as it is sophisticated.
Luxury At Every Turn
Inside, the 505 Shadow redefines onboard comfort. Imagine Thermador appliances in a galley that feels more like a luxury kitchen, paired with a seamless one-level layout that ensures easy flow throughout. With interiors designed by the renowned team at Design Unlimited, owners can personalize every detail to create a yacht that feels uniquely their own.
Power Meets Precision
When it comes to performance, the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow delivers. Its triple Mercury V12 engines, producing an impressive 1800 HP, ensure it can handle any condition with grace and power. Whether cruising at speed or maneuvering in tight spaces, this yacht is as versatile as it is capable.
From Cape Town to The World
The story behind Eclipse Yachts is just as remarkable as the 505 Shadow itself. Built in Cape Town, South Africa, each yacht reflects a meticulous production process that blends innovation with craftsmanship. And the excitement doesn’t stop here—Eclipse Yachts is already gearing up for the launch of a 60-foot model next year, promising even more luxury and versatility.
Whether you're seeking a high-tech owner-operator yacht, a family-friendly cruiser, or a versatile tender, the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow is the ultimate solution. Discover how this extraordinary yacht is redefining what’s possible in the world of yachting.
