— The Dutch royal family own a 50ft 1950s yacht, De Groene Draeck, used only locally.

— King Harald V of Norway has the use of HNoMY Norge, a 264ft vessel originally built for aircraft manufacturer Thomas Sopwith in 1937 and bought by the Norwegian people for their royal family after the second world war.
