The Portuguese reported thirty-two dead and about three hundred wounded, while nearly the entire Mamluk contingent and many Gujarati personnel were killed. Experienced crews and sustained gunnery helped turn the battle into a one-sided destruction of the coalition fleet.

The transfer of that later fleet to Ottoman control accelerated Mamluk weakness before the Ottoman conquest of Egypt.
