Captain's yacht

A Sovereign -class captain's yacht.

Ship views.

The captain's yacht was a type of auxiliary vessel installed aboard several classes of Federation starships in the 24th century , including the Galaxy -class and Sovereign -classes . On both designs, the yacht is launched from the underside of the saucer section and was used by the ship's captain to travel alone or to host visiting dignitaries.

While Captain Jean-Luc Picard commanded the USS Enterprise -D , he didn't often use the yacht in his eight years in command. This trend continued during his command of the USS Enterprise -E . While rarely using the yacht, he lost the Cousteau following a Son'a attack in 2375 and the Calypso was stolen by the Androssi and later destroyed in 2378 . ( TNG movie : Insurrection ; TNG - A Time to... novel : A Time to Be Born )

Star Trek: Lower Decks Cast Guide - Who Voices Each Character In All 4 Seasons

I think star trek: lower decks isn't dead yet, jake gyllenhaal legal thriller series with 85% rt audience score becomes streaming hit.

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 Finale - "Old Friends, New Planets"

• In the season 4 finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Captain's Yacht makes its second appearance in the franchise, proving to be a crucial tool in the rescue mission of Lieutenant Mariner.
• The Captain's Yacht is a small warp-capable spacecraft that operates independently from the starship it belongs to, with its own engines, transporters, and weapons systems.
• Lower Decks also brings back another forgotten Star Trek vehicle, the Argo, which originally appeared in Star Trek: Nemesis. The Argo is a rugged all-terrain buggy designed for travel over difficult terrain.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4's thrilling finale remembers a starship captain's perk that's often forgotten by using it to heroic effect. In "Old Friends, New Planets", Lieutenant Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) flees the base of disgraced Starfleet Academy cadet Nick Locarno (Robert Duncan McNeill), only to find that her stolen getaway ship is trapped by Locarno's Trynar Shield. Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis) obtains an enormous Orion battleship from D'Erika Tendi (Ariel Winter) to blow through the barrier, but the derelict ship is only useful as far as it can be thrown since its sheer mass is enough to punch the requisite hole that allows for passage.

Unexpectedly, it's not the Cerritos that takes advantage of the new hole in the Trynar Shield, but a secret third vessel that deftly maneuvers through the fight to get in transporter range of Mariner's commandeered starship, the USS Passaro. With this little ship, Freeman beams her daughter Mariner aboard right before the detonation of Locarno's stolen Genesis Device and gets away fast enough to avoid being caught up in the resulting planetary formation. Despite being part of Star Trek since Star Trek: The Next Generation , Lower Decks marks the second time this specialized vehicle is even used on screen.

Star Trek: Lower Decks features an incredibly talented and prolific voice cast of actors. Here's who's who aboard the USS Cerritos.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Finally Uses The Forgotten Captain’s Yacht

Captain picard used the enterprise-e's yacht in star trek: insurrection.

In the Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 finale "Old Friends, New Planets", Captain Freeman's secret third vessel is the Captain's Yacht, a frequently forgotten part of starship design that's finally put to good use as an integral part of Mariner's rescue from Nick Locarno's Nova Fleet. The Captain's Yacht is a small warp-capable spacecraft intended for the captain's personal use that detaches from the underside of a starship's saucer section and operates independently, with its own engines, transporters, and weapons systems. It's considered a perk of the captaincy, like the captain's ready room or private dining area.

A surprised Lt. Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) remarks that he's "never actually seen someone use the Captain's Yacht."

The Captain's Yacht has been a part of starship design since Star Trek: The Next Generation. Production designer Andrew Probert made it part of the USS Enterprise-D with the Calypso, the Captain's Yacht belonging to Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). The USS Voyager also included a detachable captain's yacht called the aeroshuttle for Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew). Budgetary constraints meant the Captains' Yachts weren't used on screen in either TNG or Star Trek: Voyager, but as a feature film, Star Trek: Insurrection could use Picard's Enterprise-E yacht, the Cousteau, as part of the plot, much like the animated Lower Decks .

Lower Decks Brought Back Another Forgotten Star Trek Vehicle

The cerritos also has an argo from star trek: nemesis..

As an animated series, Star Trek: Lower Decks can bring back other forgotten Star Trek vehicles previously limited to movie budgets. In Star Trek: Nemesis , Captain Picard, Lt. Commander Worf (Michael Dorn), and Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) utilize the Argo, an all-terrain buggy deployed from the sleek shuttle of the same name to Kolarus III to retrieve the component parts of B-4 (Brent Spiner). The Argo-type buggy is a rugged 3-seater specialized for travel over difficult terrain that features ample cargo space, independent sensors, a rear-mounted phaser cannon, and remote control of its paired shuttle. Best of all, the Argo is capable of being operated at "unsafe velocities."

An Argo-type buggy returns in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 1 premiere, "Second Contact", as a Starfleet standard-issue vehicle on an away mission, though this time without the shuttle. The buggy's durable build and cargo capacity make it a great vehicle on second contact missions that require the transport of supplies over uncertain ground. Ensign Beckett Mariner recognizes the Argo's capacity for hauling cargo and steals one to deliver needed farming equipment to the Galardonians, in lieu of Starfleet officially doing so. Both the Argo and Captain's Yacht are rarely used Star Trek vehicles, but thanks to Star Trek: Lower Decks , they don't have to stay forgotten.

All episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 are out now on Paramount+.

Cousteau (yacht)

The Cousteau contained a cockpit (with a dedication plaque ), a small transporter and cargo area, and a docking port which made a direct connection to the Enterprise -E. It was capable of atmospheric flight and landing on a planetary surface. It could also generate tachyon bursts . Only one pilot was needed to fly the craft.

In 2375 , Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his senior staff took the Cousteau to the Ba'ku planet as part of a plan to prevent the forced relocation of the Ba'ku by the Son'a . The yacht carried several weapons and transport inhibitors to the surface, which were deployed by the crew in order to keep the Son'a from removing the Ba'ku from the planet. Later, Data used the Cousteau to create a diversion by firing tachyon bursts into Ru'afo's ship 's shields , forcing him to reset his shield harmonics and allowing Worf to transport the bridge crew to the Federation holoship . Ru'afo was able to seriously damage the Cousteau before he was transported from his ship. ( Star Trek: Insurrection )

A model of the Cousteau was stored in Picard's section of the quantum archive at the Starfleet Archive Museum . ( PIC : " Remembrance ")

Appendices [ ]

Background information [ ].

John Eaves' orthographic drawings of the Cousteau

The Cousteau was described as " a diplomatic cruising vessel that's docked out for touring, " by designer John Eaves , who noted: " It's almost 110 feet long, so it's a pretty big ship. " ( The Secrets of Star Trek: Insurrection , p. 39)

Star Trek: Starship Spotter classified the Cousteau as a Mark 2 Captain's Yacht.

A deleted scene established that the Cousteau disintegrated in the atmosphere of the Ba'ku planet shortly after Data's attack. The yacht was not shown attached to the Enterprise -E at the end of the film, so it was possible the yacht was destroyed.

The Star Trek Encyclopedia , 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 117, 165, in the entries "captain's yacht" and " Cousteau ", stated the Cousteau was destroyed. It further stated in the notes to the former entry, " The Enterprise -E yacht was named Cousteau at the urging of Patrick Stewart , in honor of the French oceanographer. The name was inscribed on a dedication plaque in the ship's cabin. Cousteau was designed by Herman Zimmerman and John Eaves . " In the third edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia (p. 590), the name of the yacht was said to have been chosen by producer Rick Berman .

This might be the second captain's yacht and the third auxiliary vessel under Captain Picard named the Cousteau . In the notes to the "captain's yacht", in the fourth edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia , the authors wrote, " The yacht on the Enterprise-D was apparently also named Cousteau , although we never saw it in use. "

A Type 15 shuttlepod from the USS Aries and a Type 7 shuttlecraft from the USS Enterprise -D were also named Cousteau .

Seleya Class

The Seleya Class Captains Yacht was developed over the past several years to become the 'standard' Captain's Yacht design for Star Fleet to use on Capital Ships and some space stations. It is designed with dual docking mechanisms, one on the aft for standard docking, and one on the dorsal for docking 'into' the bottom of a Heavy Cruiser, Battle Cruiser, Galactic Survey/Exploration Cruiser, Battleship, or Carrier. It also contains a standard airlock and ground-landing capability. The class has three decks and moderate defensive capability. It is designed for use by the commanding officer of the vessel and can be used for diplomatic use as well, as it is outfitted accordingly.

All capital ships contain a Seleya Classed captain's yacht as an auxiliary craft.

The vessel is based on the same hull as the Cicero Class support craft developed at approximately the same time.

Seleya classed yachts are named for mountains, mountain ranges, valleys, and gorges. The class is named after Mount Seleya on Vulcan.

Registry numbers on vessels assigned to star ships, start with "CY-" and then the host ship ID number, then another "-" and a letter designation based on the number of craft that the host has had.

Registry numbers on vessels attached to stations or other facilities start with "CY-" and then a 5-digit registry number.

For example, the USS Gettysburg 's Seleya-classed Yacht's designation is: CY-1863-A.

It was the captain's yacht from the Enterprise E. Picard took it down to the surface just before the Enterprise E left orbit. Samaritan Snare (where Picard traveled to Starbase 515) is one of the episodes where using the captain's yacht would have made a lot of sense. http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Samaritan_Snare_(episode)

The tradition of the Captain's Yacht originated in the days of James Kirk, who'd offer to show female Enterprise visitors the Captain's Dinghy.

Long Syntax said: I remember viewing the TNG Technical manual years ago and always wished the captain's yacht would have actually been used in an episode. It's a predominant exterior feature of the ship that was never explored and I really think it would have been interesting to have a practical use for it. At the very least Jean-Luc could have packed a few bottles of champagne and taken a few alien babes on to Risa Click to expand...

Set-wise it really wouldn't have been a big deal - the TNG-TM shows the cockpit as basically a redress of the officer living quarters. It really would have added some extra depth to the functionality of the E-D.

Does Voyager have a captain's yacht?

By Captain Jean-Luc Picard , February 4, 2004 in Star Trek: Voyager

Recommended Posts

Captain jean-luc picard    1.

At the bottom of Voyager's saucer, is the outline of a small vessel. Here's a close up pictue of the underside of Voyager's saucer.

Some seem to think it's the Aeroshuttle .

So, what do you think? Aeroshuttle or Captain's Yacht?

I read in the official Star Trek Fact Files: definitely an aeroshuttle. Never used in Voyager because it formed an integral part of the ship's outer hull and to loose it in combat would have left a large part of Voyager exposed.

Go here to see it in more detail...

COOL SHUTTLE!!!

I didnt know that voyager had one like that looks

It was sesigned with wings for travelling better through atmospheres - hence the 'aero' part.

It would have been nice to see it in action, in an episode.

Indy    8

We never saw the Captain's Yacht being used in TNG either: it looked like a mini saucer section. Strange...

That's true, however, I have the TNG technical manual and it shows what the yacht would look like if detached from the Enterprise. The top side would be "dome-like" with pairs of saucer-style windows, two in back, front, and two on each side.

Guest Mike_Hines01   

I never noticed that outline before, but it the shuttle looks cool.

Really? It was in insurrection? :opens the desk drawer to the left of him to reveal all his star trek dvd's, and puts insurrection in his computer:

Woah, that looks like a Transwarp Coil on top of the shuttle.

ohhhh slip streem....... well, I donno. I'd actually say it was an old warp coil. But then again, it's probably has nothing to do with the warp system, and just seems like it could be. even though it's in the right spot........

1. The areoshuttle was designed by fans.

2. Even if this were the official design, Voyager was built before slipstream drive and Borg transwarp coils had been discovered.

It could be an upgraded version after Voyager's return. Maybe Feds start using Transwarp in the future series.

A l t e r E g o    9

If the areoshuttle was designed by fans and the topic of this thread was never officially named on the show (canonized) then isn't it impossible for us to say exactly what that ship was?

Speculatively my answer would be: since we've seen ships that occupy that same space on other Starships called the Captains Yacht , it's a captains yacht.

Well, Star Trek: The Magazine called it an aeroshuttle. My theory is that it's used as a planetary drop ship of some kind. Maybe they only use it when Voyager has landed on the surface of a planet? If they need to go somewhere, they take the aeroshuttle instead of a normal shuttle? That's my theory anyway.

VaBeachGuy    12

It's interesting that you posted this when you did. I had just been thinking a day or 2 earlier about the the Captains Yacht on the Enterprise D and wondered if Voyager had one. During TNG, after I found out there was a Yacht by looking at the TNG trading cards I always wanted to see it used.

Well, Star Trek: The Magazine called it an aeroshuttle.  My theory is that it's used as a planetary drop ship of some kind.  Maybe they only use it when Voyager has landed on the surface of a planet?  If they need to go somewhere, they take the aeroshuttle instead of a normal shuttle?  That's my theory anyway.

You could have shared that bit of info in your original post but does the The Magazine saying it make it official canon? Where did the info they published come from?

I forgot at the time. As for being canon, I just assumed that technical info like that seen in the manuals, encyclopedia, and magazines was canon.

ya i saw this too.. but i wish they would have use it in the show.

Well can we all just IMAGINE that that is what it is and looks like. What is all this flippin Canon (I'm trying to say a bad word but can't)?

and i like the shuttle....but think that it was great Voyager didnt "cannonly" have it...

canon=Official (mentioned in the series)       and i like the shuttle....but think that it was great Voyager didnt "cannonly" have it...

Actually, Voyager did. We just don't know what it looks like nor what it's called as it was never seen on screen. Look closely at the picture of the bottom of Voyager's saucer. You can clearly make out landing gear, thrusters, and Voyager's namd and registry on the bottom of the craft.

Word of the day:

Interesting I never noticed it....

Have you seen INSURRECTION ? If so, how did you miss it?

I donno. I watched it. Granted I was sorta tired, but I still missed it. Could you give me the chapter it's on or general location? lol.

William Levy, Maggie Civantos to Headline Secuoya Studios’ Action Rom-Com ‘Bajo un Volcán’

Spain’s fast-growing Secuoya Studios has re-teamed with Cuban-North American actor-producer William Levy (“Resident Evil: The Final Chapter”) for the action romantic comedy film “ Bajo un volcán ,” directed by Hugo Martín Cuervo.

Shooting entirely on the Canary Island of Tenerife, “Bajo un volcán” marks a further step into the Levy-Secuoya alliance, which kicked off in 2022 with the production of ViX’s TV drama “Montecristo.”

Further cast members include Adriana Torrebejano (“Muertos, S.L.”), Fabiola Guajardo (“Los ricos también lloran”), Elia Galera (“Zorro”), Pino Montesdeoca (“Way Down”) and Antón Lofer (“La Bandera”).

Levy plays Mario Torres, a captain and military pilot, who arrives in Tenerife after a volcanic eruption seems to have subsided. But Dani (Civantos), an expert volcanologist, fears an imminent reactivation, which leads her to a conflict with a scientific committee. Love and passion between Mario and Dani look as inevitable as any natural catastrophe.     The feature tells “a story of forbidden and ill-timed love, whose passion is framed in the midst of the eruptive activity of a volcano, in a simile of the relationship between two people as opposite and shocking as two tectonic plates in continuous friction,” reads a Secuoya Studios press release.

“Bajo un volcán” will offer “a refreshing mix of genres, a non-stop plot which will combine the story about two lovers and the inevitable countdown towards a cataclysm with unpredictable consequences,” the statement continues.

Beta Fiction Spain will distribute the film in Spanish theaters.
