25ft Slipper Launch - Beautifully presented

Sophie Hélène is a beautifully refurbished Andrews 25ft slipper launch, representing all that is so admired about these distinguished British classics. Elegant in profile and effortlessly well balanced in her proportions, she carries the quiet confidence of a launch built by a name long associated with quality, style and life on the Thames.

Finished in rich mahogany with a heritage green hull and fine cream detailing, her colour scheme is both refined and beautifully suited to her design. The warmth of the varnished timber, set against the depth of the green paintwork, gives her a very polished and unmistakably classic appearance, while still feeling fresh, smart and highly usable for today’s owner.

Sophie Hélène has been recently refurbished with clear attention paid not only to presentation, but also to comfort and enjoyment aboard. She benefits from all new upholstery, a new canvas hood, new Lloyd Loom chairs and new carpet, all of which contribute to a particularly inviting feel. These additions sit very naturally within the boat and enhance her character rather than distract from it, giving her a more complete and considered finish.

Andrews launches have long enjoyed a special reputation on the Thames, where their graceful lines and understated elegance have made them a familiar and much admired part of traditional river life. Sophie Hélène sits very comfortably within that heritage. She has the kind of presence that feels entirely at home on a quiet reach of the river, whether moored outside a riverside hotel, gliding between regattas, or simply being enjoyed on a summer afternoon.

As a day boat, slipper launches are designed with sociability and a welcoming layout in mind, making Sophie Hélène ideal for relaxed cruising with family and friends. She offers classic boating in a form that is both practical and stylish, with a sense of occasion that never feels overstated.

For those seeking a Thames launch of genuine charm, pedigree and usability, Sophie Hélène is a very attractive example. Beautifully presented and thoughtfully updated, she offers the opportunity to own a classic Andrews slipper launch that is as enjoyable to use as she is to admire.
