Our beach team has always been integral to creating the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that our guests have come to know and love – enthusiasm, confidence, a can-do attitude and a great sense of humour are a must. We introduced Wing Foiling to the club last summer with great success and are looking for instructors keen to share their passion for the sport.
Watersports are a huge part of The Peligoni Club experience and our coastal location is designed to ensure that our guests get the best of the beautiful Ionian Sea. Whether it’s wakeboarding, a ringo ride, or an afternoon of sailing, The Peligoni Club is the perfect place to enjoy a watersports holiday in Greece
We like to do things well and that means having the right tools, the right people and the right approach. We equip the beach with the best equipment from the world’s top manufacturers, including sailing boats from Laser Performance and RS sailing, windsurfing and foiling equipment from Tushingham and Severne, and ski boats by Axis.
Lessons are a mixture of one-to-one and group progressions sessions as we aim to encourage as many guests as we can to get out and have fun on the water in a safe and beautiful environment. Guests can also take advantage of our weekly RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling course, giving the opportunity to learn new skills they can take home with them.
Our instructors are all certified by the RYA or ISA, many of them in multiple disciplines; they are the life and soul of the club, with outgoing can-do attitudes to inspire the young and give confidence to the nervous. We are looking for a fun and energetic team, keen to share their passion for the water with guests of all ages and to inspire, motivate and reassure them in order to help them reach their potential.
