When comparing the Mangusta 80 vs Sunseeker Predator 74 cost comparison for Marbella charters, the Mangusta 80 wins on value. Our Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) starts at €4,719 for a 4-hour charter from Puerto Banús, with a jet ski included free. The Sunseeker Predator 74 (22.5m) is not in our fleet, but market rates in Marbella typically run 15–25% higher per hour, often without extras. Below, we break down the specs, inclusions, and real costs so you can decide which yacht suits your budget and group.
Size and Space Comparison
The Mangusta 80 measures 24 metres (80 feet) with a beam of 5.5 metres, offering generous deck and interior space. The Sunseeker Predator 74 is 22.5 metres (74 feet) with a 5.2-metre beam. That extra 1.5 metres in length and 0.3 metres in beam means the Mangusta 80 has more room for sunbathing, dining, and socialising. For groups of up to 12, the Mangusta 80 feels less cramped, especially on the flybridge.
Performance and Speed
The Predator 74 is slightly faster, topping out at around 32 knots compared to the Mangusta 80's 28 knots. However, most Marbella charters cruise at 20–22 knots along the coast from Puerto Banús to Cabopino or Estepona. The Mangusta 80's cruising speed of 24 knots is more than adequate for a relaxed day at sea. Fuel consumption is similar, but the Mangusta 80's larger fuel tanks offer longer range.

Our Mangusta 80 charter includes:
- Licensed skipper and fuel
- Water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava
- Light snacks
- Insurance and safety equipment
- Spanish IVA (21%)
- Jet ski included free
For a Sunseeker Predator 74, expect to pay extra for jet skis (€200–€400/hour), premium catering, and sometimes fuel surcharges. The Mangusta 80's all-inclusive pricing means no surprises.
