Size and space: Canados 86 takes the lead
The Canados 86 measures 26 metres, two metres longer than the Mangusta 80's 24 metres. That extra length translates into a larger flybridge, more deck space, and a roomier saloon. If you're planning a day with a group that values lounging and socialising, the Canados offers more room to spread out. The Mangusta 80, while slightly smaller, still provides ample space for 12 guests, with a sleek, sporty profile that turns heads in the marina.
Performance and speed: Mangusta 80 is the sportier choice
The Mangusta 80 is built for performance. Its planing hull and powerful engines deliver higher cruising speeds, making it ideal for covering longer distances — say, from Puerto Banús to Estepona or even Sotogrande in less time. The Canados 86 is a semi-displacement yacht, prioritising comfort and stability over raw speed. If you want to feel the wind in your hair and enjoy water sports, the Mangusta is your pick. For a smooth, relaxed cruise along the Golden Mile, the Canados excels.
Inclusions and extras: jet ski vs. pure luxury
Every charter with us includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). The Mangusta 80 sweetens the deal with a free jet ski included in the €4,719 (4-hour) price. The Canados 86 does not include a jet ski as standard, but you can request one via WhatsApp. Both yachts are fully equipped for a day on the water, but the Mangusta offers more built-in excitement.
Which destinations suit each yacht?
Both yachts can reach Marbella's top anchorages: Cala del Faro, Cala Cortés, and the coast off Cabopino. The Mangusta 80's speed makes it easier to explore further afield, such as the dunes of Cabopino or the beaches of Estepona. The Canados 86 is better suited for a leisurely day trip to Sotogrande or anchoring near the Marbella Club Hotel for lunch. Both can handle the calm Mediterranean conditions typical of summer.
Pricing and booking
The Mangusta 80 (grey or white) has a fixed price: €4,719 for a minimum of 4 hours, with the jet ski included.

Which one should you choose?
Choose the Mangusta 80 if you want a sporty, fast experience with a jet ski included, and you're happy with a fixed price for 4 hours. Choose the Canados 86 if you prioritise space, a larger flybridge, and a more luxurious, stable cruise, and are flexible on pricing. Both offer the same inclusions and depart from Puerto Banús.
