Powerboat Instructor

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 are looking for experienced instructors to run our weekly RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling course, giving our guests the opportunity to learn new skills they can take home.

***

Our powerboat instructors provide professional instruction whilst ensuring a safe environment. They will guide guests through all the theoretical and practical elements of the course, ensuring they are competent in all areas before issuing their Powerboat license at the end of the course. Courses take place in the mornings, allowing time in the afternoon to work with the rest of the beach team, welcoming guests, providing tuition and covering safety.

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.

We are a fully accredited RYA Training Centre. All of our instructors are certified by the RYA, many of them in multiple disciplines, and 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. Our beach team have 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.
