Röyttä was an R class patrol boat of the Finnish Navy, originally constructed as coastal minesweeper. She was ordered from Laivateollisuus, Turku, launched July 2, 1959 and commissioned on October 14, 1959. Röyttä was transferred to the marine reserve training in 2000. She was modernised in 1980 and 2000. Röyttä was later sold to a private adventure company Trexperience in Tampere and moved by road to lake Näsijärvi. She is now called Vartiovene 55 meaning simply Patrol Boat 55, 55 being her original pennant number.
