For Sale: “Drusilla” – Elegant Slipper Launch by Woottens Boatyard (2000)

Step aboard Drusilla, a beautifully crafted slipper launch built in 2000 by the renowned Woottens Boatyard. She blends timeless mahogany elegance with modern practicality — a fiberglass hull below the waterline ensures strength, durability, and low maintenance, while her mirror-finish varnished topsides radiate classic river charm.

Powered by a whisper-quiet electric motor, Drusilla offers the most serene way to enjoy the river — no engine noise, no petrol fumes, just smooth, tranquil cruising. In 2024 she received a brand-new control system, and in 2025 a fresh set of long-life batteries (approx. 8-year lifespan). Her brightwork was revarnished by Freebody a few years ago, keeping her looking as elegant as the day she was launched.

Meticulously maintained, Drusilla has always been wintered out of the water and comes with a full service history. The electric motor was upgraded during her life, making her even more reliable and economical to run than any petrol launch.

Currently moored at a private boathouse in Cookham, she is available for viewing and ready to deliver her next owner unforgettable, quiet, and refined days on the river.
