Our Mission

Charter at the centre. Practical support around it.

REAOP plans private charters and also supports owners, yachts and crews when practical help is needed.

Why captain-led

Captain-led from the first conversation.

Bogdan looks at each trip the way a captain does. He considers the yacht, the route, the forecast, the crew and everything that must be ready before guests arrive.

Additional services

    Buying a yacht, planning a refit or moving her to a new port? Bogdan can assess the practical side and give an independent captain's view.

  • Owner Support

    When you cannot be with the yacht, Bogdan can follow up the work, speak with the shipyard and crew, and keep you informed.

  • Crew & Hospitality

    Help choosing the right crew and setting the standard for service, food, presentation and life onboard.

Experiences

Routes from Malta, planned around the time you have.

Stay close to Malta for a few days or travel further through Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, the Amalfi Coast or Sardinia. The final route depends on the forecast, availability and what guests want to do.

These routes are starting points. The forecast, berth availability and the captain's judgement will decide the final plan.

Charter Collection

JUPJU: Sunseeker 86 Yacht

JUPJU is the first yacht in the REAOP collection. She is based in Malta and available for charters around Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, the Amalfi Coast and Sardinia.
