In an ever-evolving marine industry, few brands dare to push the boundaries of design, technology, and luxury like ECLIPSE Yachts. Recently, Eric Kyle, the esteemed publisher of Great Lakes Scuttlebutt, sat down with Dave Jirikovic  from HMY Yacht Sales the ECLIPSE dealer, for an insightful conversation about the journey behind the creation of this remarkable yacht line. The ECLIPSE Journey: From Concept to Reality  The creation of the ECLIPSE yacht line was no small feat; it took nearly three years to bring this visionary project to life. The journey started with a bold concept and evolved through a series of strategic collaborations with some of the top names in the marine industry. Dave Jirikovic highlighted the incredible effort it took to get to where ECLIPSE is today, sharing: “It took 2 and 3/4 years to get where we are today, from outlining the original concept, to engaging Michael Peters Yacht Design and Design Unlimited ltd, while at the same time, Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing of Cape Town, South Africa concurrently acquired and brought online dedicated production facilities”. These collaborations brought together the expertise of world-class designers and builders, resulting in a yacht that is not only visually stunning but also functional, innovative, and versatile.    A New Segment in Luxury Cruising  The ECLIPSE Yacht line was born from a desire to create something truly unique in the marine industry, a segment that is not only luxurious but also versatile and high performing. Dave Jirikovic explained that ECLIPSE aimed to address the needs of modern boaters by creating a yacht that does it all:  “It’s a new segment in cruising…. What we wanted to do is create something that really does it all. When you look at everything in the industry, it’s a bit aged, so we wanted to put really great performance on the water but also include all of the amenities and technology owners demand into our products”  The result is a yacht line that seamlessly integrates the latest technological advancements with luxurious comfort, catering to both casual boaters and professional mariners alike. This innovative approach sets ECLIPSE Yachts apart from the competition.    A Range Designed for Everyone  One of the unique features of the ECLIPSE Yacht line is its versatility. Whether you’re a seasoned mariner or a weekend boating enthusiast, ECLIPSE is designed to accommodate a wide range of needs. Dave Jirikovic emphasized that their vision was to create a yacht that is accessible to everyone: “We want our lineup to not only create barrier-free entry and ease of use for the owner-operator, but also be capable of serving those in the commercial and professional maritime industries.”  This inclusive approach ensures that ECLIPSE Yachts are not only user-friendly but also robust enough for commercial applications, making them a versatile addition to any fleet. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious personal cruiser or a reliable tender for professional use, ECLIPSE Yachts offers a range of options tailored to your specific needs.   The ECLIPSE Range:  395  455  505   505 Shadow  605  605 shadow    Pushing the Envelope of Design and Technology   ECLIPSE Yachts is more than just a new player in the marine industry—it’s a disruptor that is pushing the limits of what’s possible. As Dave Jirikovic shared during the interview: “We really wanted to push the envelope. The level of luxury on this boat is something an owner of an ECLIPSE is going to be accustomed to.” One of the key aspects that sets ECLIPSE apart is its dedication to being original. Eric Kyle, who has been in the boating industry for years, was astounded by the new technology integrated into the ECLIPSE Yachts line: “There are new forms of technology on this boat that I’ve never even seen before. The innovation that went into this boat is miles ahead of where a lot of the competition is.” From state-of-the-art steering wheel controls to advanced helm stations, ECLIPSE Yachts are equipped with cutting-edge features that elevate the boating experience. The helm station, for instance, offers full engagement with the windows and doors, giving the captain complete control over the vessel’s environment.  Features that Combine Beauty with Functionality    ECLIPSE Yachts prides itself on blending aesthetics with practical functionality. Dave Jirikovic elaborated on some of the standout features that make this yacht line truly exceptional like the Drop-in Boarding Door, Motor Well Cover, Convertible Mate Seat with a Footwell, etc. This philosophy extends to every aspect of the yacht.   What’s Next?   As we look ahead to 2025, the ECLIPSE Yachts brand is poised to make even bigger waves in the boating industry. With the upcoming launch of the 605 model and additional units arriving from Cape Town, ECLIPSE Yachts is committed to redefining the luxury express cruiser yachting experience.

The sun was shining, and the anticipation was palpable at this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). All eyes were on the newly-launched ECLIPSE 505 Shadow, a luxury express cruiser yacht that recently arrived from Cape Town, South Africa. Designed to combine high-end performance with sleek, minimalist aesthetics, the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow made a statement at the show and set a new standard for what a modern-day cruiser can achieve.  ECLIPSE Yachts hosted a walkthrough of the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow led by two prominent voices in the boating world: Jeff Moser, Editor-in-Chief of Passagemaker Magazine, and Pim Van Hemmen, Executive Editor of Power & Motoryacht Soundings. Their genuine enthusiasm for the 505 Shadow was unmistakable as they explored the yacht’s thoughtful design, impressive craftsmanship, and high-performance capabilities.  One of the standout quotes from Jeff Moser encapsulated the essence of the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow:  “It’s nicely finished, it’s got all the Thermador appliances, everything’s high-end.” Indeed, the yacht’s interior reflects an attention to detail reminiscent of a luxury penthouse. High-quality materials and cutting-edge design converge to create an inviting yet sophisticated space. Van Hemmen was quick to echo these sentiments, comparing the yacht to a high-end luxury sports car—a vessel that not only looks sleek but also exudes a sense of power and elegance.  Luxury Meets Minimalism  The ECLIPSE 505 Shadow interior is a masterclass in minimalism without sacrificing the luxury elements that yacht owners crave. Stepping aboard, one is immediately greeted by a blend of black walnut wood finishes, carbon fiber accents, and meticulously crafted details. This harmonious mix of materials creates a warm yet modern atmosphere, allowing the space to feel inviting without being overly ornate. The minimalist design ethos is also evident in the layout. Despite its abundance of high-end features, the yacht never feels cluttered. As Van Hemmen put it, “Even though so many features are packed in; it doesn’t feel crowded.” This clever use of space is a testament to ECLIPSE’s design philosophy—delivering functionality without sacrificing comfort.     Key Features of the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow  At the heart of the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow appeal is its combination of luxury, performance, and practicality. Here’s a closer look at what makes this yacht stand out:  Power Moon Roof: One of the most striking features is the expansive power moon roof. With a simple push of a button, the roof opens to allow natural light and fresh air to flood the interior, creating an open, airy feel that’s perfect for warm-weather cruising. Spacious Layout: The 505 Shadow comes equipped with two beautifully appointed staterooms and two full bathrooms. The generous sleeping quarters ensure that guests can unwind in comfort after a day on the water. High-Performance Engines: The ECLIPSE 505 Shadow is powered by Triple 600-Horsepower Mercury Engines, offering exhilarating speed and responsive handling. Whether you’re cruising along the coast or exploring offshore waters, the yacht delivers a thrilling ride. Carbon Fiber Accents:The use of carbon fiber is not only an aesthetic choice but also, a functional one. The lightweight material enhances performance while giving the yacht a modern, sporty look. The carbon fiber seats and touches throughout the cabin underscore the yacht’s luxurious yet minimalist vibe.  Alpi Italian Walnut Interior:The interior is dominated by rich Alpi Italian Walnut wood, adding a touch of elegance and warmth. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the cabinetry to the flooring, giving the yacht an upscale residential feel.  Designed for Safety and Comfort   While the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow design is undeniably stylish, it’s also built with safety in mind. Van Hemmen highlighted this aspect during the walkthrough, noting how secure the yacht feels when moving around on deck. “In some boats you feel like you have to let go; here you really feel safe going up forward,” he remarked. This sense of security allows owners and guests to enjoy the yacht to its fullest, whether they’re navigating calm coastal waters or venturing into more challenging seas.  The Future of ECLIPSE Yachts  The debut of the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow is just the beginning for the brand. In addition to this showstopper, ECLIPSE has plans to expand its lineup with the introduction of the smaller 395 and 455 models next year. And for those who were captivated by the 505 Shadow at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), there’s even more to look forward to—the larger ECLIPSE 605 is set to make its debut at next year’s show.  ECLIPSE Yachts is making significant strides in the industry, with 14 more units scheduled to arrive from Cape Town in the coming year. The company’s commitment to excellence is evident not only in their choice of premium materials and high-end finishes but also in their focus on performance, safety, and innovation.  A New Standard in Luxury Yachting  The response to the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) has been overwhelmingly positive. Attendees were not only impressed by the yacht’s sleek lines and luxurious finishes but also by its ability to stand out from the rest. The 505 Shadow manages to strike a balance that few yachts can achieve—offering all the amenities one would expect from a high-end cruiser while maintaining a sporty, agile feel on the water.  Jeff Moser summarized it best with his comparison to a luxury sports car. The ECLIPSE 505 Shadow is for those who seek more than just a vessel—it’s for those who crave an experience, where every detail has been meticulously considered to enhance the journey. Whether you’re enjoying a sunset cruise with friends or embarking on a longer adventure, the 505 Shadow is built to deliver both thrills and relaxation.  What’s Next?  As we look ahead to 2025, the ECLIPSE Yachts brand is poised to make even bigger waves in the boating industry. With the upcoming launch of the 605 model and additional units arriving from Cape Town, ECLIPSE Yachts is committed to redefining the luxury express cruiser yachting experience.

As a high-performance vessel, the express cruiser has always bestowed excitement onto the yachting world. While these vessels have long been adored by boating enthusiasts worldwide, a considerable amount of time has passed since the segment has witnessed any sort of groundbreaking, state-of-the-art developments. We are here to tell you that this is all about to change with the launch of ECLIPSE. A new generation of express cruisers has been unveiled to the world; With the first 505 Shadow expected to arrive at the end of 2024. ECLIPSE has unified talent from the yachting industry’s most powerful figureheads. The all-new ECLIPSE lineup of yachts commands industry and consumer attention, in both design and performance; Truly reimagining and modernizing the express cruisers as we know it. Brought to life by Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing in South Africa, and HMY Yachts Sales as a worldwide sales force, the ECLIPSE lineup highlights two distinctive models: the 50-foot 505 and 60-foot 605, with premium Shadow Performance Package upgrades available for each. With an ultra-hydrodynamic hull design, exceptional efficiency features, and unparalleled performance, each model is well-equipped to handle the often unpredictable conditions of the Great Lakes, or any ocean on Earth.  With the goal of setting a new industry standard of excellence in the yachting world, the vision for ECLIPSE was created on a platform that boasts nothing short of perfection. To execute their visualization of a sleek, modernized express cruiser, Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing assembled the pinnacle of world-class talent to conjure the ECLIPSE’s design and performance elements. First, there’s the award-winning “Stepped V’ ’ Ventilated Tunnel ” (SVVT) hull and overall boat design by Michael Peters Yacht Design, a world-renowned firm known for its adept fusing of science and art. UK-based super yacht interior design and exterior styling firm Design Unlimited was also involved, adding intuitive elements for noise reduction, and overseeing all technical aspects of the interior decoration and furnishings. Silver Arrows Design, known for their prowess in automotive interior design, lent their expertise to incorporate automotive-inspired features rarely seen in the boating world, including surface materials, surround view cameras, ergonomics, and instrumentation, all of which blend together to cultivate a revolutionary experience. Finally, Du Toit Yacht Design, who are experts in both seaworthiness and aesthetics, were also involved in ECLIPSE’s back-of-house engineering.  Boasting the ultimate levels of engineering and design, the ECLIPSE is primed for performance. All models from the ECLIPSE lineup feature Mercury 600hp V12 outboard engines: The 505 is equipped with twins, while the 505 Shadow features triple outboard motors. The 605 sports triple 600’s, while the 605 Shadow edition offers a set of quad 600s. The Mercury Marine 600 horsepower outboard motors are exceptionally quiet engines due to two speed transmissions supported by the abundance of low-end torque a V12 block affords, which translates to much lower operating RPMs, lower fuel burn which translates to increased fuel economy, and incredible overall efficiency. The additional horsepower achieves the absolute pinnacle of performance within this class of express cruisers. The 605 Shadow is set to become the largest and fastest outboard-powered express cruiser in the world, making it a must-have for anyone seeking an incomparable yachting experience.  Any boating enthusiast familiar with the Great Lakes knows her waters should never be underestimated. Where there is water, there is also fickle weather. It is all too common for boaters to depart onto glass-flat bodies of water in the morning, only to be met with four-foot waves by the afternoon. Fortunately, turbulent seas are no match for the ECLIPSE. Her performance hull was created to cut through choppy waters with ease, all the while ensuring optimal comfort for passengers. The ECLIPSE lineup boasts the ability to have an open or closed entertainment area, making it easy to retreat inside when the winds pick up or head out on the deck when conditions permit. Everything is easy to open and close; there is no frustration dealing with canvas or Isinglass while being pelted with driving rains. Boaters who frequent the Great Lakes also recognize the compelling advantage of having a freshwater-kept vessel: without any corrosive saltwater to worry about, the yachts will remain in optimal condition for years to come. When maintenance is needed, however, yacht owners can expect concierge-level service from HMY Willoughby Creek, a highly specialized service location acquired to exclusively maintain and service ECLIPSE models. This is where all inbound Eclipse boat deliveries will be received from the factory in Cape Town, South Africa. This is where they will be prepped before departing for their new homes. In an effort to cultivate the most relaxed experience on the water, ECLIPSE yachts have all been thoughtfully designed with features that provide the comfort and convenience of the home environment. Leveraging CZone®’s intuitive digital switching and monitoring network, everything onboard is connected via networked hub/switching modules, eliminating the need for cumbersome wiring harnesses (while also significantly reducing weight). Shadow models are equipped with high-speed Starlink internet connectivity standards  (no need for satellite domes). The ECLIPSE series is also perfectly appointed for entertaining. With flush deck entertaining spaces typically only seen on larger yachts, her layout features only the finest materials for supreme luxury. The 505 and 505 Shadow both offer a true two-stateroom, two-head layout, while the 605 models add an extra stateroom and head. In addition to her quiet engines, ECLIPSE has been equipped with Northern Lights Marine Diesel Generators, known for their whisper-quiet operation, for a smooth and soundless experience below deck. While we have yet to see precisely what the ECLIPSE’s full interior will look like, with the involvement of elite automobile designers, we can expect an imaginative, avant-garde interior styling that features lavish appointments, and state-of-the-art technology from bow to stern. The state-of-the-art influence will especially come to life on the ECLIPSE Shadow Performance Package models, creating not just a luxury yacht, but an entirely revolutionary experience for owners, captains, and passengers alike. The first ECLIPSE 505 models are anticipated to arrive by the end of

At the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing made a groundbreaking announcement: HMY Yacht Sales would be the exclusive worldwide dealer for their revolutionary ECLIPSE lineup of Luxury Express Cruising Yachts. This prestigious lineup includes the highly anticipated ECLIPSE 505 and ECLIPSE 605 models, which embody a completely new perspective in concept, engineering, technology, and design, promising to reshape the yachting industry’s perception of the Express Cruiser. At the intersection of luxury cruising and high performance, the ECLIPSE 505 is making a significant impact, garnering attention for its unprecedented speed and exceptional seakeeping capabilities within the Express Cruising segment. This achievement is attributed to the innovative Michael Peters Yacht Design, which incorporates the proven SVVT (Stepped Vee Ventilated Tunnel) hull. This advanced hull design is paired exclusively with two powerful Mercury 600hp V12 outboard engines, while the Shadow Performance Edition boasts three Mercury 600hp V12 outboard engines, ensuring top-tier performance and agility. The interiors of the Eclipse 505 have been masterfully crafted and appointed by Design Unlimited of the U.K., providing a spacious two-stateroom, two-head layout with flush deck entertaining spaces typically reserved for larger yachts. This meticulous attention to detail and custom-level build quality redefines industry standards, positioning the 50-foot cruiser as a symbol of excellence and luxury. Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing has achieved all significant pre-production milestones in the ECLIPSE 505 design and development process. As of the second week of September 2023, the full production line for the 505 model has commenced. To streamline production, two identical 505 Hull molds were produced, with Hull 001 already in layup in 505 Hull Mold 1 and Hull 002’s layup set to begin without delay in 505 Hull Mold 2. Anticipation is running high, with the first ECLIPSE 505 scheduled to launch for sea trials in Cape Town, South Africa, summer of 2024. This momentous achievement represents a significant step forward in delivering an exceptional yachting experience to eager enthusiasts worldwide. The ECLIPSE 505 stands poised to revolutionize the Express Cruiser market, combining luxury, performance, and innovative design in a way that sets new benchmarks for the industry.

ECLIPSE is pleased to share an exciting update about the first model in the highly anticipated ECLIPSE Express Cruiser line! Hull #001 of the ECLIPSE 505 was released from its mold last week at Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing’s dedicated ECLIPSE production facility in Cape Town, South Africa.   Every aspect of the ECLIPSE 505’s production is being scrutinized by the elite teams involved. The lamination of each hull with its complex Michael Peters SVVT geometry is no exception to this intense attention to detail. The golden-brown coloration of the 505 Hull you are seeing in these photos is from the intentional use of a “clear” gel coat. With each ECLIPSE hull receiving a painted finish as standard, adding this step allows engineers to confirm each hull is perfectly laminated by Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing upon release from the mold as all surfaces are literally transparent. Lamination is one thing, but meeting Michael Peters Yacht Design’s stringent weight specifications is another. Without strict adherence to weights and measures the ECLIPSE 505 will not perform as designed. Credit is due to the Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing team as once weighed, 505 Hull 001 was exactly at MPYD’s specified weight. The ECLIPSE 505 stands as a groundbreaking fusion of luxury cruising and high-performance technology. Its unparalleled speed and exceptional seakeeping capabilities redefine cruising norms, courtesy of the patented Michael Peters SVVT hull and the renowned Mercury 600hp V12 outboard engine. Featuring a rare for this class two estate room, two-head layout, and expansive flush deck entertaining area, this vessel’s design prioritizes the owner’s needs, setting a new benchmark in the industry.

The newly crafted mold represents an awe-inspiring fusion of artistry and engineering prowess, shaping the hull into a true masterpiece.

In a bold departure from tradition, Two Oceans has opted to release the 505 and 605 hulls in a transparent gelcoat rather than the conventional white, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of each. From Vision to Reality: The Evolution of Excellence What began as a mere concept has blossomed into a revolutionary design.
