The yachting world is about to be transformed with the arrival of the highly anticipated ECLIPSE 505 Shadow. This innovative 50-foot outboard cruiser is set to make its world premiere at the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, marking a new chapter in luxury performance on the water. The HMY and ECLIPSE team witnessed the launch of Hull #001 in late August of 2024.
The images shared in this blog provide a first look at the boat that is bringing a new era to the express cruiser segment.
Designed with precision by Michael Peters Yacht Design, the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow boasts a sleek profile and unmatched performance capabilities. Built on the patented SVVT "Stepped Vee Ventilated Tunnel" hull, it offers superior speed and stability, setting a new benchmark in its class. The design ensures not only a smooth and efficient ride but also exceptional handling. The initial launch of Hull #001 took place in Cape Town, South Africa and the images captured prove there is much to be excited about with this new express cruiser.
Inside, the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow exudes elegance and comfort, with interiors by the esteemed UK-based firm Design Unlimited. The yacht's two-stateroom, two-head layout provides ample space for relaxation and entertainment. The single-level decks, extending seamlessly from the transom through the fully equipped galley, allow for easy movement and a harmonious indoor-outdoor experience. Every detail of the interior is crafted from the finest materials and has been configured to offer 360-degree visibility. The technology onboard is a showcase of the latest in the industry.
