Calypso
Class: Captain's Yacht
Owner: United Federation of Planets
Operator: Starfleet
Status: Destroyed (2371)

The Calypso was a Federation captain's yacht that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-24th century, attached to the USS Enterprise-D. (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

The Calypso was never seen in use or mentioned in dialog, but its designation came from the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual. It was named for Jacques-Yves Cousteau's ship Calypso by Patrick Stewart. Production staff wanted to use the yacht in episodes such as TNG: "The Neutral Zone" and "Samaritan Snare", but budget restrictions prohibited building a miniature and sets. Captain's Yachts did not become part of Trek canon until the debut of the USS Enterprise-E's Cousteau in Star Trek: Insurrection.
The reference work Star Trek: Starship Spotter categorized the Calypso as a Mark I Captain's Yacht.
Though never stated in the canon, it was almost certain that this vehicle was abandoned with the saucer section of the Enterprise-D on the surface of Veridian III.
