What We Do As A Humanitarian Organization
YachtAid Global orchestrates the delivery of humanitarian, development and conservation aid to coastal communities worldwide. The organization was founded in 2006 and we are a registered nonprofit providing tax benefits to donors. We utilize a network of volunteers who coordinate logistics, patrons who sponsor supplies and yacht owners and crew that offer to transport them.
We deliver to schools, medical clinics, cultural centers and other organizations in remote and isolated locations including Alaska, Indonesia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, French Polynesia, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Belize, Vanuatu, and more. We work with an impressive roster of yachts to provide the owners and crew with an outlet to give back in a unique way that does not change the course of their cruise.
The box below has an audio interview from May 28, 2009 between Diane Byrne www.megayachtnews.com and Captain Mark Drewelow, founder of YachtAid Global. The interview is about 25 minutes long and provides an excellent background. When coupled with the video on the right of this page, a 360 view of YAG will be provided.
