About The Peligoni Club

The Peligoni Club is a family-run members’ club on the beautiful island of Zakynthos, Greece. Watersports are at the heart of the Peligoni experience, and our coastal setting offers guests the perfect environment to learn, progress and have fun on the water.

We run a busy beach with high-quality equipment from leading brands - including RS and Laser Performance sailing boats, Severne, Starboard and Tushingham windsurfing and foiling kit, and a fleet of performance ski and powerboats. From morning sailing sessions and windsurf clinics to wingfoiling and lively mixed-ability group activities and our weekly Race Day event, we create a safe, energetic and welcoming space for guests of all ages.
