When you're choosing between a Sunseeker Predator vs Pershing 46 for a Marbella charter, the decision often comes down to availability, value, and what's included. The Sunseeker Predator is a celebrated sport cruiser, but it's not in our fleet. Instead, we offer the Pershing 46—a direct competitor in size, speed, and style. This guide compares both boats to help you pick the right one for your day on the Costa del Sol.
Size and Capacity: Pershing 46 vs Sunseeker Predator
The Pershing 46 measures 14 metres and can carry up to 10 passengers. The Sunseeker Predator (typically 13–14 metres) also seats 8–10 people. Both are designed for day trips—comfortable for a group of friends or family. If you need more space, our Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax) might be a better fit.
Performance and Speed
The Sunseeker Predator is known for its top speed of around 45 knots, thanks to twin diesel engines. The Pershing 46 is no slouch either, reaching approximately 40 knots. Both are planing hulls that deliver a thrilling ride. For a more relaxed cruise, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m) offers a smoother experience at lower speeds.
Design and Onboard Experience
Both boats feature open-plan layouts with sunpads, a cockpit seating area, and a small cabin below. The Pershing 46 has a sporty, aggressive look that turns heads in Puerto Banús. The Sunseeker Predator is equally stylish. Neither has a flybridge—so if you want elevated views, consider our Azimut 58 Flybridge.
