The Peligoni Club is a family-run members’ club on the beautiful island of Zakynthos, Greece. Watersports are a huge part of the Peligoni experience - from wakeboarding and ringo rides to afternoons spent sailing or windsurfing across the Ionian Sea. Our beach is a vibrant, social hub, and the beach team plays a central role in creating the warm, energetic atmosphere our guests love.

About the Role

We’re looking for a dynamic, experienced Waterfront Manager to lead our watersports operation for the 2026 season. You’ll oversee the daily running of the beach, manage and motivate a talented team of instructors, and ensure guests of all ages enjoy safe, engaging sessions on the water.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced leadership role ideal for someone who thrives outdoors, loves coaching, and has a strong understanding of performance, safety, and guest experience in a busy watersports environment. You’ll set the tone for the beach team, deliver training, maintain high standards, and help create the unforgettable holiday moments Peligoni is known for.
