ATAL Caravans and Marine have proved over the 60 years they have been in business that the “beginner in boating” or person just wanting to get on the water is just as important to them as the “big boys” with their large ski-boats.To this end they recently commissioned their major boat manufacturer to get back to basics and build them a five metre craft that was powered by one motor and was capable of going to sea as well as being used on bay, estuary and inland waters with good stability, safety and comfort.Thus the Benguela 500 was conceived and built, and I had the privilege of taking her on her maiden voyage.
