The 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is set to kick off on October 29th, and one of the most talked-about new entries in the express cruiser market: the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow will be on display. This year, ECLIPSE Yachts will have not one, but two 505 Shadows on display. As the exclusive ECLIPSE Yachts dealer, HMY Yacht Sales is excited to share that both boats at this year’s show, are available for sale and immediate delivery after the show.
Meet the Updated 505 Shadow at FLIBS
The 505 Shadow already made waves with its sleek Michael Peters design, triple Mercury V12 power, and owner-focused layout—but the model continues to evolve. Based on valuable owner feedback from the first hulls, ECLIPSE has introduced a series of subtle yet meaningful updates beginning with Hull #003.
Enhancements include improved storage solutions, refined ergonomics, and minor performance optimizations. These refinements underscore ECLIPSE’s commitment to listening to its owners and constantly fine-tuning the details. Whether you’ve toured the Shadow before or are stepping aboard for the first time, FLIBS 2025 is your opportunity to see these updates in person.
