Gibert Marine was founded in 1972, and through the 1970s and 1980s built a wide range of small cruisers in direct competition with Beneteau, Jeanneau and Dufour. Gib'Seas are well built and generally offer spacious hulls with relatively simple fit-outs. The company was taken over by Dufour in the mid 1990s, which now produces a newer, larger range under the Gib'Sea name.

Designed by Michel Joubert and Bernard Nivelt, and built through most of the 1980s, the Gib'Sea 84 was a typical stylish and fairly fast small cruiser in the French style. The model was replaced by the Gib'Sea 282 in around 1988.

The Gib'Sea 84 was built with fin, twin bilge or lift keel options, this yacht having the fin keel.

Below: The Volvo diesel has run approx 750 hours, and had the gearbox drive splines modified in 2006 as a precautionary measure (failure here is a well known problem with Volvo 2002 series engines - the modification completely fixes the problem)

This is a well looked after family cruising yacht, packing remarkably spacious accommodation into a compact overall length. The standing rigging was replaced in 2006, and a new genoa fitted.
