WATERSPORTS
Part of our roots, our sheltered coastal location, wind, kit and amazing instructors make us one of the best locations for delving into the wonderful world of watersports. Here, it’s not about how good you are, it’s all about getting out there, trying, falling into the water, trying again and succeeding.
Our watersports are offered as two separate upgrades to our standard club membership: Paddlesports Upgrade and Full Watersports Upgrade.

Sailing
You can't visit a Greek island without trying some sailing. And, in particular, our sheltered nook makes for a fantastic sailing experience, with boats rigged and ready for you to go. Throughout the week we have a range of sailing activities but you can head out on your own or have a lesson with one of our instructors. Plus, a little bit of healthy competition never hurt no one, and the end of the week, we host our Sailing Race to give you and your family a chance to win an exciting prize.
EQUIPMENT
We have a fleet of sailing boats from Laser and RS, including single and double handers, monohulls and catamarans.
TUITION
Our watersports staff are qualified instructors, 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. Everything is run on a first come first served basis so whilst we pride ourselves on flexibility, during our busier times, please do bear in mind there may be a short wait before you set sail. Sailing lessons are given first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon and are a combination of group and one-to-one sessions and ad-hoc advice is always available to those out free-sailing. More than anything, we believe in having fun on the water in a safe and beautiful environment.
WEATHER
The weather here is made for sailing. You can learn the ropes quickly, and soon you will be using the wind to your advantage. Typically, the island experiences light cross-shore breezes in the morning giving way to stronger winds in the afternoon. The surface is generally pretty flat with a bit of wind chop as the wind picks up and larger swells further out into the channel. The mornings are perfect for beginners and the afternoons provide great weather for progressing at sailing. With a prevailing force 3 North Westerly, sailing out and back from our moorings couldn’t be easier.
Windsurfing
There is nothing more we love than a good windsurfing session. Taking flight, crashing into the water, and starting all over again, it is a type of thrill that we don't get to experience day to day, and it is what we are all about. For beginners, the gentle morning breeze is a comfortable starting place, but for the more advanced and adventurous, the afternoon cross-offshore breeze provides the perfect blast to get you going.
EQUIPMENT
Our range of boards and sails suit all levels and wind conditions. Our beginner boards offer stable platforms to get started. Our intermediate and advanced boards are from Starboard and range in size from 150 litres down to 75 litres and with free-ride, freestyle and foiling shapes.
SAILS
Training Rigs
From 1.5m2 to 3.5m2, we have a great range of sails to get both adults and kids on the water experiencing windsurfing for the first time.
Severne and Tushingham Sails
Two of the most respected windsurf companies in the world; performance sails in sizes from 4.0m2 – 7.5m2.
FOILING
For advanced windsurfers we have a Severne RedWing foil, and a Starboard foil board which provides a great introduction into foiling for those who wish to try something new.
TUITION
Our windsurfing instructors are all RYA/IS qualified, with a focus on tailored teaching we aim to progress people quickly and we have great conditions and equipment to do so. Everything is run on a first come first served basis so whilst we pride ourselves on flexibility, during our busier times, please do bear in mind there may be a short wait. Windsurfing lessons are a combination of group and one-to-one sessions and ad-hoc advice is always available to those out free-sailing. More than anything, we believe in having fun on the water in a safe and beautiful environment.
WEATHER
Typically light cross-shore breezes in the morning give way to stronger winds in the afternoon. The surface is generally pretty flat with a bit of wind chop as the wind picks up and larger swells further out into the channel.
Paddlesports
The mornings at Peligoni are where the sea is at its most tranquil, with mirror flat conditions allowing all levels of paddlers out onto the water. Throughout the week, we have a variety of paddlesports activities, including sunrise SUPs, paddleboard safaris and our Dragon Boat Race. Our paddlesports upgrade is offered separately to a watersports upgrade.
EQUIPMENT
– Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPS) From Two Bare Feet & Red
– Mega SUPS From Red
– Kayaks from RTM
Our two bare feet inflatable stand up paddleboards are the perfect balance between stability for beginners and great for longer distance paddling. Whether you want to head out and show off your yoga moves in front of the club or paddle out to sea for some peace and calm, they allow you to do it all. Able to hold a passenger, these are a sociable way to get on the water, explore the coast by peering in to the crystal clear waters that surround the club, and it’s a great low impact workout too.
Kayaks are provided by RTM well known for their bomb proof construction. We have single kayaks for adults wanting to head out for a longer trip or children who want to explore with some independence. Double kayaks are available for those who want to paddle together – these can handle 3 people if the 3rd is a smaller human.
Mega SUPs – Stand Up Paddleboards that can hold 8 – 10 people, allowing the whole family to head out together or for the teens to head out as a group and have their own sun bathing platform. A popular option for the whole family!
Motorised Watersports
For the thrill seekers, there is no better feeling than getting up early and getting out onto the water first thing. We are incredibly lucky to have fantastically calm, flat water in the early mornings at the club. The team operates from 7am to take advantage of these prime conditions, for as long as the weather permits, and resumes in the evening if the wind dies off. Sessions run for 15 minutes and are tailored to your level. We teach waterskiing, wakeboarding and for the more adventurous, a bit of wakeskating or wakesurfing.
EQUIPMENT
2 x MasterCraft NXT 20
1 x Sportique Waterski Boat
Monoskiing & Pair Skiing
Wakeboarding, Wakeskating & Wakesurfing
Kneeboarding
Ringos (4 at a time behind a boat)

TUITION
Our ski drivers and instructors are all certified by the BWSW (British Water Ski & Wakeboard), they are on hand to coach you in any of your chosen disciplines, whether it be the first time for a nervous youngster or trying to land your wake to wake 360°. Our coaches are fantastic at encouraging everyone to get involved, they aren’t afraid to get in the water and help you get set up and give confidence to even the most timid of skiiers.
INFLATABLES
From midday, guests are welcome to book our Ringos and Crazy Sofa rides. This is an incredibly popular way for kids, teens and adventurous adults to head out on to the water. Go as a group or create some new friends in the rush of the moment by teaming up with others.
WEATHER
Mornings offer mirror flat conditions ideal for monoskiing and later on in the day is the best time to head out wakesurfing. Come evening time, if the weather is on your side, head out as the sun is setting for an hour long ski or board of your choice. We will provide a range of drinks on board so you can enjoy the sunset and a drink of your choice whilst on the water.

Beach Safety
The Peligoni Club is recognised by the RYA as a training centre and this means that we are inspected annually to ensure that we are adhering to the strict safety guidelines. All guests must attend a safety briefing whether this is their first or 30th year at the club. This will cover all aspects of the waterfront, how to ask for a lesson, how to behave on the water and how to help the beach team keep you safe.
BEFORE GETTING ON THE WATER
No matter which upgrade you have or if you are attending one of our taster sessions, all guests must attend a watersports safety briefing before heading out onto the water. During the day, we monitor the wind levels around the club and will always make sure to keep our guests informed of any changes to our watersports agenda.
WHILST ON THE WATER
We will keep a constant eye on you to ensure your safety. We always have at least one member of staff on the water ready to attend to you for any reason. We want you to be comfortable to try any new sports in an encouraging environment where our staff will ensure that you are learning efficiently and safely.
ONCE YOU ARE OFF THE WATER
We ask you to check back in with the team on the beach to ensure that our record of who is on the water is accurate. This also allows other members of your party to check if you are still out on the water or if you’ve headed to the bar for an après-windsurf beverage.
