Eclipse 505 Shadow For Sale

The Eclipse 505 Shadow is a landmark outboard express cruiser that has reset the standards of its class, pairing genuine high-performance engineering with the finish and accommodation of a small custom yacht. Measuring 50 feet 10 inches overall with a 14-foot 8-inch beam and drawing just 2 feet 6 inches, she was conceived from a blank sheet around outboard propulsion rather than adapted from an inboard hull, and the result is a cruiser that is faster, shallower in draft and easier to service than almost anything that came before it in the segment.nnAt the heart of the 505 Shadow is Michael Peters’ patented, award-winning SVVT stepped hull, among the most respected performance hull forms in the industry. Mated to triple Mercury V12 600hp Verado outboards, it delivers explosive acceleration, confident offshore seakeeping and a top speed approaching 50 knots, with a relaxed cruise in the mid-thirties. For owners who want serious capability without the complexity and maintenance of inboard machinery, the Shadow package adds an extra 600 horsepower and a suite of premium systems that transform the experience on the water, while the triple-outboard configuration keeps servicing simple and resale strong.nnThe Shadow edition is defined by its interiors, created by Silver Arrows Design, the marine studio associated with the Mercedes-Benz and Silver Arrows design language. A true two-stateroom, two-head layout is beautifully executed, with an owner-centric arrangement, hand-selected fabrics, refined touchpoints and flush-deck entertaining spaces more typical of a far larger yacht. Natural light pours through expansive glazing into the saloon, which flows out to the cockpit and bathing platform for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtful details abound, from surround-view docking cameras and Starlink connectivity to integrated lighting and intuitive helm electronics, all arranged around a single-level social deck that makes entertaining at anchor as natural as covering miles offshore.nnEvery Eclipse 505 Shadow is hand-built by Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing in Cape Town with a custom-level production ethos, and the yacht is certified to ISO Category B, ABYC and USCG standards. A 650-gallon fuel capacity gives genuine range for coastal cruising and island-hopping, while the shallow draft opens up anchorages and destinations that larger inboard cruisers simply cannot reach. Twin Seakeeper-ready engineering keeps her composed and level at rest.nnThe 505 Shadow occupies a unique position in the market: a 50-foot express cruiser with superyacht-grade design, blistering outboard performance and the day-boat versatility to entertain a crowd or cruise in intimate comfort for two couples. It is the kind of yacht that rewards both the spirited owner-operator and the design connoisseur, combining the pedigree of the most decorated names in yacht design with the reliability and simplicity of modern outboard power.nnThe Yacht Collection offers the Eclipse 505 Shadow for sale and can advise on specification, available hull slots, engine and paint options, electronics packages and delivery timelines. For buyers seeking a distinctive, high-performance express cruiser that stands apart from the crowd, the Eclipse 505 Shadow is among the most compelling propositions afloat today. Since its introduction the Eclipse Shadow line has drawn intense interest from experienced yacht owners trading down from larger inboard flybridge yachts as well as performance boaters stepping up into true overnight luxury, a rare dual appeal that speaks to how completely the 505 Shadow has redefined expectations for a modern outboard express cruiser of this size. With a growing owner community, strong factory support through HMY and a build quality that stands comparison with far more expensive craft, she represents both an exceptional yacht and a sound long-term investment.
