The Cryrian Royal Flotilla is the personal fleet of the House of Leidensen. It ranges from modern superyachts to traditional sailing vessels.
The House of Leidensen once held direct ownership and ultimate command over their personal fleet of warships, and historically relied on maritime power to maintain its control of the Kingdom. This is reflected in the Drifting Throne, which gained its name from being transported by ship during the days of Cryria's itinerant court. As the Kingdom's bureaucracy developed and expanded, the institution of the Royal Cryrian Navy was increasingly formalized and operational command grew ever more distant from the Monarchy. By the time constitutionalism was fully established in the 19th-century, the Monarchy's role in naval affairs was customarily limited to purely ceremonial matters. At this time, a separate discretionary flotilla was established for the royal household's personal use, and this became known as the Cryrian Royal Flotilla.
Today the Cryrian Royal Flotilla remains completely independent of the RCRN and is paid for directly by the House of Leidensen's personal funds, though it frequently makes use of personnel from the RCRN and the Royal Guard for its operation.
