When comparing the Mangusta 80 vs Sunseeker Predator 74 for a Marbella charter in 2031, you're looking at two prestigious sport yachts that turn heads in Puerto Banús. Both accommodate 12 passengers, but their layouts, performance, and pricing differ. This guide breaks down specs, onboard experience, and which one suits your day on the Costa del Sol.
Mangusta 80 vs Sunseeker Predator 74: Key Specs
The Mangusta 80 measures 24 metres (79 feet) and is a maxi open sport yacht, known for its aggressive lines and spacious aft deck. The Sunseeker Predator 74 is slightly smaller at 22.5 metres (74 feet), with a more enclosed cockpit and a sport cruiser profile. Both are powered by twin diesel engines, but the Mangusta typically offers higher top speeds (up to 34 knots) compared to the Predator's 28-30 knots.
Passenger Capacity and Layout
Both yachts are certified for 12 passengers, making them ideal for groups. The Mangusta 80 features an open-plan layout with large sun pads aft and a forward seating area, perfect for sunbathing and socialising. The Predator 74 has a more enclosed saloon with air conditioning, a lower helm station, and a cockpit that can be shaded—better for those who prefer shelter from the Andalusian sun.
Charter Pricing and Inclusions
Our Mangusta 80 is available from €4,719 for a minimum 4-hour charter, which includes a free jet ski. All charters come with a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, cava, white wine, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish VAT (21%). The Sunseeker Predator 74 pricing varies by operator and is typically on request—often starting around €3,500–€5,000 for half a day, but without a jet ski included.
Onboard Experience: Which is Better?
For an open-air party vibe, the Mangusta 80 wins with its expansive sun pads and direct water access. The Predator 74 offers a more refined, enclosed experience with a proper saloon and galley—better for dining or escaping the heat. Both have excellent sound systems and bathing platforms. If you want to combine speed with a jet ski, the Mangusta 80 is the clear choice.
Destinations and Itineraries
Both yachts depart from Puerto Banús, giving you quick access to the Marbella coastline. Popular routes include cruising past the Golden Mile, anchoring at Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, or heading west to Estepona or Sotogrande. The Mangusta's speed means you can cover more ground, while the Predator's comfort suits longer, leisurely trips.
Why Choose the Mangusta 80 in 2031?
With its free jet ski, open layout, and competitive pricing, the Mangusta 80 is a top contender for groups wanting a dynamic day on the water. For 2031, we offer both white and grey hull variants. If you prefer a more sheltered, enclosed yacht, the Predator 74 is worth seeking out, but it's not part of our fleet—we recommend checking our full fleet for similar options.
