A room inside the Cousteau
The captain's yacht is a large auxiliary vessel built into the design of several Federation starship designs including the Galaxy-class and Sovereign-class. It is docked to the underside of the saucer section. On the Enterprise-E, the name of the captain's yacht is the Cousteau. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
Background information
Designer Andrew Probert came up with the concept of the captain's yacht while designing the Enterprise-D. Although it was never seen in use, it is labeled on the master systems display screen in main engineering, docked at the bottom of the saucer section almost directly opposite the main bridge. Probert suggested possible ways for the yacht to be used during the first season, including not showing the yacht but mentioning it in dialogue, but his ideas were rejected. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual (page 164) claims that the producers almost used the yacht in TNG: "Samaritan Snare", but decided to use an "executive shuttlecraft" due to budgetary constraints. According to Patrick Stewart, the yacht would have been called the Calypso.
Rick Sternbach designed similar craft into the USS Voyager and the USS Equinox, known as the aeroshuttle and the waverider, respectively. Like on the Enterprise-D, however, these vessels were only depicted on technical schematics and never seen in operation or referred to in dialog.
