In 2018, YachtAid Global opened the first public library, Biblioteca Galápagos, in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. Their work included renovations, standardizing operations, a small computer lab, and a collection of 1,500 books. Since then, the library has helped the Ecuadorian community become educated, increased literacy, hosted scientific lectures and literature events, and provided emergency preparedness and support. In the fall of 2025, YachtAid Global was able to remodel and expand the library’s footprint by 50%, including a new monitoring system and a handicap lift. Operation Beagle is just one of the many missions that YachtAid Global has undertaken since its founding in 2006. As the organization continues to promote yachting industry-wide engagement and collaboration for disaster relief and recovery, humanitarian aid, and conservation efforts, they are always looking for help from the industry.
