(Fort Lauderdale, Florida, October 30, 2024) – ECLIPSE Yachts is set to redefine luxury yachting with the highly anticipated debut of the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow model at the prestigious Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. This long-awaited unveiling marks a significant milestone for ECLIPSE Yachts as the company continues to push the boundaries of yacht design, engineering, and performance. ECLIPSE Yachts, while a new concept, gathered the most experienced industry professionals from across the globe to design what is now being referred to as the “contemporary classic” in the express cruiser market. The unveiling of the 505 Shadow represents the culmination of endless hours and dedication to truly creating a one-of-a-kind yacht that will surely be a showstopper this October at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Unrivaled Collaboration When it came to assembling a team of experts, it was paramount that those involved were the best in their field and up to the task of creating something truly unique. This is exactly what happened when Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing, Design Unlimited, and Michael Peters Yacht Design joined forces to create the ECLIPSE Yacht line. Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing brought its unmatched expertise in large scale, custom yacht manufacturing, ensuring craftsmanship, cutting-edge performance, and state-of-the-art construction methods. Design Unlimited infused the project with luxurious, meticulously designed interiors that elevate comfort and elegance, while Michael Peters Yacht Design contributed the innovative patented hull design and sleek exterior lines. Collectively, they’ve crafted a vessel that redefines the standards of sophistication and innovation in the yachting world. “The ECLIPSE 505 Shadow is truly unmatched in the market,” said David Jirikovic, brand manager at HMY Yacht Sales, the ECLIPSE preferred dealer. “We’re proud to set a new industry benchmark by combining the agility of a Michael Peters SVVT hull design, powered by triple Mercury 600 hp V12s, with the sophistication of a luxury cruiser. “There seemed to be a gap in the market for a non–center console, yacht-like contemporary vessel that incorporates all of the layouts you would expect in a modern boat,” said Michael Peters from Michael Peters Yacht Design. “We took an approach of taking what we thought were the best attributes and put them into one product. And that’s what ECLIPSE offers”.
