Watersports are a huge part of the Peligoni experience – from wakeboarding and ringo rides to sailing, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding. Our beach operates as a friendly, energetic hub where guests of all ages can try something new, grow in confidence and enjoy the best of the Ionian Sea.
As a fully accredited RYA Training Centre, we offer guests the chance to develop new skills while on holiday, supported by an experienced, passionate and highly qualified watersports team.
We’re looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Powerboat Instructor to deliver our weekly RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling Course and support the beach team throughout the season. You’ll guide guests through all theoretical and practical elements of the course, ensuring they finish confident, competent and ready to use their skills beyond their time at Peligoni.
Alongside teaching powerboating, you’ll also take a hands-on role delivering instruction in at least one other discipline – sailing, windsurfing or foiling – depending on your qualifications, and work with the wider beach team, helping with safety cover, welcoming guests and keeping beach operations running smoothly.
