Choosing between a Mangusta 80 vs Sunseeker Predator 74 for your Marbella charter? Both are stunning 24-metre-class yachts, but they serve different vibes. The Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) departs Puerto Banús and includes a free jet ski from €4,719 for 4 hours. The Sunseeker Predator 74 (22.5m, 12 pax) is sportier but not in our fleet. This comparison covers specs, price, space, and the best pick for your day on the Costa del Sol. For our full fleet, see Boat Rental Marbella.
Mangusta 80 vs Sunseeker Predator 74: Key Specs

|---|---|---|
| Length | 24m | 22.5m |
| Beam | 5.6m | 5.1m |

Price & Value: Mangusta 80 Wins on Inclusions
Our Mangusta 80 (Tier B) costs €4,719 minimum 4 hours, with a free jet ski, licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and Spanish VAT. The Sunseeker Predator 74, if chartered elsewhere, often costs similar or more but without a jet ski. For a group of 12, the Mangusta delivers better value—especially if you want to wakeboard, tube, or explore coves.
All our charters depart from Puerto Banús, so you can head straight to Cala Cortés or Cabopino without extra fees.
Space & Layout: Mangusta 80 Has More Social Zones
The Mangusta 80 features a large flybridge with sun pads, a spacious aft deck with dining, and a generous bow sunbathing area. The Sunseeker Predator 74 is more streamlined—its cockpit is smaller, and the flybridge is less expansive. For a party, family gathering, or corporate event, the Mangusta 80 lets guests spread out comfortably.
If you prefer a sporty, low-profile look, the Predator 74 might appeal, but for practical chartering, the Mangusta’s layout is superior.
Performance: Sunseeker Faster, Mangusta Smoother
The Sunseeker Predator 74 can hit 34 knots thanks to its lighter construction and more powerful engines. The Mangusta 80 cruises at 24–28 knots and tops out around 32 knots. However, the Mangusta’s deeper V-hull provides a more stable ride in Mediterranean chop. For leisurely cruising along the Golden Mile or anchoring off Estepona, both are excellent, but the Mangusta feels more planted.
