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.
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 for a while produced a newer, larger range
under the Gib'Sea name. From around 2009, however,
Dufour appeared to drop the Gib'Sea range.
