Did we ever see the captain's yacht?

When you look over the Star Trek the Next Generation Technical Manual's schematics of the USS Enterprise, one interesting thing indicated on the underside of the saucer section is the presence of the captain's yacht. It was a flying saucer looking ship that seemed to be a miniature of the Enterprise's saucer section. Anyway, did we ever see it?
PS: of course, I searched for this and all I really found was this nice looking fan rendering. Nothing official. I am not sure how accurate it is, but it looks pretty close to the manual. Did we ever see it?

As your question is specific to ST:TNG and the Enterprise D, the following taken from http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Captain's_yacht answers your question in full.
Designer Andrew Probert came up with the concept of the captain's
yacht while designing the USS Enterprise-D.
Although it was never seen
in use, it was labeled on the master systems display screen in main
engineering and on Commander William Riker's bridge console ("New
Ground"), 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 (p. 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 Calypso. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, p.
164)
We didn't get to see a Captain's yacht in action until Star Trek: Insurrection
Watch this YouTube compilation of Enterprise E shots and skip to 54 seconds to see the Captain's Yacht.
