Who owns Fingal?

In July 2014, The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust (The Trust) acquired Fingal. The Trust was keen to develop an additional income stream that was not dependent on visitors to the former Royal Yacht. As overnight accommodation is not permitted on Britannia, a luxury floating hotel concept that serviced both the leisure market and helped attract more evening events to the former Royal Yacht, was developed by the Trust’s trading company: Royal Yacht Enterprises. All staff aboard both Britannia and Fingal work with passion and precision and a desire to curate truly memorable experiences for their guests.

Is Fingal accessible?

Access from the car park or pavement is along the quayside which has a cobbled surface, and as you near the ship, in part there is a smooth, flat section.
