List of royal yachts of the United Kingdom information


There have been 83 royal yachts of the monarchy of the United Kingdom since the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.[1]

Charles II had 25 royal yachts,[2] while five were simultaneously in service in 1831.[3]

Merchantmen or warships have occasionally been chartered or assigned for special duty as a temporary royal yacht, for example the steamship Ophir in 1901 and the battleship HMS Vanguard in 1947.[citation needed]

Since 1998, following a successful national tender process, Britannia has been berthed permanently at the Port of Leith in Edinburgh.[1] There are currently no British royal yachts, although MV Hebridean Princess and MY Leander G have both been used by the royal family.[4][5]
