Executive Chef Zibby Deca

With over 10 years of experience in the Whitsundays, Zibby Deca has built a diverse and extensive career in the local food industry. He has collaborated with a wide range of businesses, from assisting with the launch of new restaurants to managing catering departments and preparing food for large community events and music festivals.
Zibby has also worked as a private chef for high-end clients, offering his culinary expertise aboard luxury yachts and in exclusive holiday homes. About a year ago, he joined a well-known local Italian restaurant, where he had the opportunity to work alongside talented chefs, further deepening his understanding of the regional food scene.
These varied experiences, Zibby believes, have equipped him with a broad skillset and a unique insight into both local flavors and the diverse needs of his clientele.
Now, Zibby is excited to be part of the opening of Club Whitsunday:
“I’m thrilled to be part of opening the Club. With plenty of space and affordable pricing, I’m sure it will become a go-to spot for locals.”
He adds, “Every new venue is unique. The unpredictability is what excites me—the moment people walk in, experience the atmosphere, and decide if they like it. It’s rewarding to see something new come to life and watch people enjoy it.”
Zibby hopes the community will embrace the Club with enthusiasm and positivity.
In his downtime, he enjoys watching his children play the piano while relaxing on the couch. As the head of his home’s gardening department, he also spends spare moments trimming hedges and mowing the lawn.
“With full support from management, the sky’s the limit.”
“Watch this space for a feast featuring great steaks, local seafood, and churros.”
