Y.CO has partnered with YachtAid Global, a non-profit organisation, to address some of yachting's biggest sustainability challenges. The collaboration will provide the necessary resources and training for the Y.CO team to coordinate the participation of Y.CO Managed yachts in YachtAid Global's roster of projects, which spans humanitarian aid, disaster relief and conservation initiatives in fragile coastal communities.
YachtAid Global
A Team-Led Partnership
In addition to the Y.CO Fleet taking part in these programmes, Y.CO also sponsors team members’ participation in YachtAid Global Operations, and several Y.CO team members have already volunteered on the ground with a number of initiatives. Additionally, the Y.CO Yacht Management team have received specialist training from YachtAid Global to be able to coordinate our managed yachts' participation in these initiatives.
Humanitarian & Disaster Relief Affairs
Humanitarian initiatives improve sustainability and resilience of coastal communities visited by yachts – from education, literacy, clean water access and medical assistance to disaster relief and recovery from natural disasters.
Ocean & Marine Life Conservation
YachtAid Global conservation programs & expeditions advance the science and research for the protection of oceans and marine life. The work supports the establishment of swimways and marine protected areas covering marine life, corrals, and ocean floor.
