Your Captain

Captain Gye Dibben
My journey with Spica Primero began in 2018. I've spent years working on her — not just restoring what was there, but understanding every system, every space, and every quirk of a 1989 Hatteras.
From rewiring the helms to fitting every bathroom, I've physically done all of it myself. That's not unusual for me — I've been fitting kitchens and bathrooms, working in chandleries, and getting my hands dirty on boats and buildings for most of my adult life.
As a qualified skipper and owner-operator, my focus is on reliability and a genuinely personal guest experience. The hospitality side runs just as deep — from sailing dinghies as a small child, through running a pub, hotel and restaurant, to managing other people's operations before building my own.
I've spent enough time in Corfu to know the area, the people, and the places that don't make it into guidebooks.
