When planning a luxury yacht charter in Marbella, the choice between an Azimut 58 Flybridge and a Sunseeker Predator 74 often comes down to style, space, and speed. Both yachts depart from Puerto Banús, accommodate up to 12 passengers, and come with a full crew, fuel, drinks, and snacks. But which one suits your day on the Costa del Sol better? This head-to-head comparison covers dimensions, performance, pricing, and the best use cases for each yacht, so you can book with confidence.
Azimut 58 Flybridge: Overview
The Azimut 58 Flybridge is a 17.6-metre motor yacht that combines Italian design with practical flybridge lounging. It can carry up to 12 passengers and departs from Puerto Banús. The flybridge is the standout feature — a shaded upper deck with seating, a sun pad, and a small table, perfect for socialising while cruising. Below, the saloon is bright and open, with a galley and dining area. The yacht cruises at 22 knots and reaches a top speed of 30 knots, making it sprightly without being aggressive. Charter pricing starts at €4,719 for a minimum of 4 hours, which includes a free jet ski. This makes it a strong choice for groups who want to mix relaxation with water toys.
Sunseeker Predator 74: Overview
The Sunseeker Predator 74 is a 22.5-metre sports yacht known for its aggressive lines and high performance. It also takes up to 12 passengers from Puerto Banús. The Predator 74 is built for speed — it cruises at 26 knots and tops out at 33 knots, thanks to its twin MAN engines. The deck layout is sporty: an open-plan saloon flows seamlessly to the aft cockpit, and the foredeck has a large sun pad. There is no flybridge, but the hardtop and retractable sunroof give it a convertible feel. Pricing for the Sunseeker Predator 74 is on request (contact us via WhatsApp). It appeals to those who prioritise sleek aesthetics and a thrilling ride.
Size and Space Comparison
| Feature | Azimut 58 Flybridge | Sunseeker Predator 74 |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 17.6 m | 22.5 m |
| Max passengers | 12 | 12 |
| Decks | Flybridge + main | Main + foredeck sun pad |
| Cabins | 3 (4+2+2) | 4 (VIP + 3 doubles) |
| Heads | 2 | 3 |
The Predator 74 is 5 metres longer, so it offers more interior volume and a larger saloon. The Azimut 58 counters with its flybridge, which adds a second social deck. If your group wants to spread out, the Predator 74 gives more floor space; if you prefer separate zones for sunbathing and dining, the Azimut 58 wins.
Performance: Speed and Range
Both yachts are powerful, but the Sunseeker Predator 74 is the faster option. It cruises at 26 knots (max 33 knots), ideal for covering longer distances quickly, such as a run from Puerto Banús to Estepona (about 15 NM) or Sotogrande (30 NM). The Azimut 58 Flybridge cruises at 22 knots (max 30 knots), which is still brisk but more relaxed. Fuel consumption is higher on the Predator 74, but both yachts include fuel in the charter price, so you can push the throttles without worrying about surcharges.
Pricing and Value
The Azimut 58 Flybridge is the more affordable option, with a clear published price: €4,719 for 4 hours, including a free jet ski. This makes it a compelling value for a luxury charter with a water toy. The Sunseeker Predator 74 does not have a published hourly rate; pricing is on request. Expect it to cost significantly more than the Azimut 58, reflecting its larger size, newer design, and higher performance. For budget-conscious groups, the Azimut 58 offers excellent value. For those who want the latest in sport yacht design and are willing to pay a premium, the Predator 74 is the choice.
Best Use Cases
- Azimut 58 Flybridge: Best for groups who want a social flybridge, a mix of sun and shade, and a jet ski included. Ideal for day trips to Cala del Faro, Cabopino, or a leisurely cruise along the Golden Mile.
- Sunseeker Predator 74: Best for speed lovers, design enthusiasts, and those who want a larger saloon for entertaining. Great for a fast run to Estepona or a sunset cruise where the retractable roof adds drama.
