Support the Trust

Britannia is owned by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust (registered charity SCO28070).

The Trust is a wholly self funding not-for-profit charitable organisation that does not receive any public sector revenue support. All proceeds made from trading as a visitor attraction, gift shop, corporate event venue and other commercial activities are reinvested in Britannia’s long-term maintenance.

The Trust’s main responsibility is to ensure that Britannia is operated and maintained in keeping with her former role and any profits made from running Britannia as a visitor attraction and corporate events venue go towards this very important work.

Raising the funds to maintain a ship of such historical importance as Britannia is obviously a tremendous challenge for a small charitable trust to undertake and virtually all of the maintenance work is undertaken by our dedicated in-house maintenance team 7 days a week, 363 days of the year.

Visiting Britannia, hosting an event or purchasing a gift from our shop will all help to preserve this magnificent ship for future generations and we thank you for your support.

Rear Admiral Neil Rankin CB CBE JP
Chairman, The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust
