I was in Detroit for my big CaseTechnical high school reunion. I don't want to tell you what you decade it was because it was a big one:) Anyway, the second day of our reunion was on this dinner cruise ship. I have to say the crew was wonderful and very attentive. The food was excellent and we all enjoyed the view as the sunset. I would recommend this cruise if you had a large party of 200 or more just to have the boat all to yourselves. I do event planning on the side for some very prominent organizations and I have to say I would hire this crew to cater and to serve any day of the week.

My wife's company has an annual spring party, and this year decided to make it a river cruise on the Ovation. Floating parties are new to me, so I don't have much of a basis for comparison, but I was impressed. The crew got the main letdown of the night out of the way early. We (180 altogether) were waiting well beyond the cruise's scheduled start to time to board, and it was kind of cold out on the dock. The delay could have been due to the organizers from my wife's company being a little disorganized, so I'm not sure that's a strike against the crew. One thing to note, purses or any kind of carry-on bag will be searched due to Coast Guard regulations. Once we did get on, we were greeted with crew members holding trays of glasses with beer and wine. Bar service would be get-your-own for the rest of night, but there wasn't much waiting once everyone was settled in. At the bars, there is a limited range of liquors, plus the makings for common cocktails. Appetizer stations offered cheese/fruit/bread and assorted eastern European offerings--foods spanning the cultural space from the Baltic to the Agean. Greek salad, tzadziki and pita, pieroge, flavored sour cream and apple chutney. All were good, and I really could have filled up on the salad and piroge. Entrees were Faygo Rock ' Rye-braised brisket and a chicken breast whose name I can't remember (did I mention the bar service?). Both were good, though the chicken was the best, very tender and savory with cheese melted on top. Salad and various potato concoctions were available with both. After dinner, servers came around with a selection of mini-cakes, and a Sundae bar opened later on the middle deck. Hard to go wrong with cake and ice cream, and the Ovation didn't. The crew were all very friendly and helpful. The ship itself accommodated all 180 of us reasonably well, though seats for dinner were hard to find. That would have been less of a problem in warmer weather, but we were cruising on a cold early May evening, and staying inside was pretty much a necessity. In the rooms, the walls, carpet, and stairs showed some use, but not so much to be off-putting. This is a working boat after all, not a museum. If this kind of an outing sounds like your jam, nothing wrong with doing it on the Ovation.

Sunset cruise on a sunless day. But still fun.

I went on the Ovation cruise yacht after finding out that there were various events. There was the New Orleans, Motown, Caribbean and other events. I choose the New Orleans as all other events were full. You board the boar at the Detroit area near the GM renaissance center. It is best to park in one of the buildings near Atwater. There are 2 types of tickets, captains and the regular entry. The captains is $20 extra per ticket and you board early and have a champagne toast. I opted for the regular tickets which are about 120 per ticket. You wait and line and they start to board at 7pm promptly. There were 3 levels and the top most was open air. The ship was nice. The food and drinks are part of the ticket price with an open bar. Seating is limited but they open up here and there. You also get to mingle with people. The food was good. They had roasted chicken, prime rib, roll, vegetables and various cheeses and fruits. There were also small deserts passed around during the ride. The ride is scenic, especially on the canada side. Each floor also had different music. The bottom deck was jazz and the top level was dance and pop. The staff were kind and attentive. Overall it was a good experience and another something nice to do in the Detroit area. I would go again.

We hosted a corporate event onboard the Infinity Yacht. They were outstanding! Every single one of their team members was professional, efficient and helpful. The yacht is gorgeous and the food and beverage service was excellent. The cruise director kept everything flowing smoothly and all of her team members on track. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to host a corporate event in Detroit.

Home  News  Historic Detroit Yacht Club Gears Up to Host the Prestigious 2024 U.S. Adult Sailing Championship 

Historic Detroit Yacht Club Gears Up to Host the Prestigious 2024 U.S. Adult Sailing Championship 

Host Spotlight: Detroit Yacht Club – 2024 U.S. Adult Sailing Championship  

As Detroit Yacht Club (DYC) gears up to host the 2024 U.S. Adult Sailing Championship, Event Chair, Roy Lamphier, shares insights into what makes this historic venue an exceptional choice for this distinguished event. Founded in 1868 by Detroit sailing enthusiasts, the DYC has been a steadfast advocate for the sport of sailing for over a century and a half.   

DYC offers an extensive range of amenities, including a marina with over 300 boat wells, a harbor that accommodates vessels up to 100 feet in length, tennis courts, and a fitness center. The club also boasts an Olympic-size swimming pool, dining facilities, and a full calendar of social events, making it a hub for both sailing and social activities. It’s a vibrant community where members can enjoy the sport of sailing, as well as various recreational activities year-round.  

The club is no stranger to hosting major sailing events, having previously hosted the Mallory Cup back in 2000. The decision to host the championship again comes from the club’s commitment to promoting sailboat racing and fostering competitive excellence. “With a rich history in the sport, the DYC has been a leader in advancing sailboat racing through its vibrant racing programs, top-tier facilities, and deep-rooted tradition of supporting sailors of all levels,” says Lamphier.  

 Hosting the U.S. Adult Sailing Championship is a chance for DYC to showcase its commitment to sailing and its unique sailing environment. Lamphier advises other clubs considering hosting similar events to “embrace the opportunity to showcase both your club’s commitment to competitive sailing and your unique sailing environment. Focus on the strengths of your venue, from your facilities to your local waters, and highlight how your club fosters a strong culture of racing and sportsmanship.”  

For Lamphier, one of the most rewarding aspects of hosting such events is the energy and camaraderie it brings to the club. “There’s something special about watching talented sailors from all over come together, share their passion for the sport, and compete at a high level. It’s inspiring to see the blend of competition and sportsmanship, and it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of creating memorable experiences, both on the water and off.”  

As Detroit Yacht Club prepares to welcome sailors to the 2024 U.S. Adult Sailing Championship, the club looks forward to a thrilling event that will not only challenge the competitors but also continue to foster a sense of community and sportsmanship in the sailing world.

Administrative and municipal status

City divisions, transportation, culture, education, and sports, parks and monuments, october 2007 bomb attack, organized crime, violent crimes, local government, twin towns – sister cities, partner cities, notable people, external links.

The city is best known as the home of Russia's largest car manufacturer AvtoVAZ ( Lada ). For this reason, Tolyatti is often dubbed "Russia's motor city" or "Russia's Motown" (in reference to Detroit in the United States —the spiritual home of the American automotive industry). It was renamed after Italian communist politician Palmiro Togliatti in 1964. [11]

Stavropol was founded as a fortress in 1737 by the Russian statesman Vasily Tatishchev . [12] It was often informally referred to as Stavropol-on-Volga to distinguish it from Stavropol , a larger city in southwest Russia, although Stavropol-on-Volga was never its official name. [13] [14]

The construction of the Kuybyshev Dam and Hydroelectric Station on the Volga River in the 1950s created the Kuybyshev Reservoir , which flooded the existing location of the city, and it was completely rebuilt on a new site.

In 1964, the city was chosen as the location of the new VAZ automobile plant: a joint venture between Fiat and the Soviet government. It was then renamed Tolyatti after Palmiro Togliatti , the longest-serving secretary of the Italian Communist Party , who had been instrumental in setting up the venture with Fiat. Much of the modern city was constructed in the 1960s to house the workers of the factory, and today AvtoVAZ dominates the economy of the city. [15]

Within the framework of administrative divisions , Tolyatti serves as the administrative center of Stavropolsky District , [1] even though it is not a part of it. [16] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the city of oblast significance of Tolyatti —an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts . [2] As a municipal division , the city of oblast significance of Tolyatti is incorporated as Tolyatti Urban Okrug . [3]

For the administrative purposes, the city is divided into three districts:

• Avtozavodsky ( Автозаво́дский ), also called Novy Gorod (literally New City ), is the most modern; it was designed to host the workers of the city's AvtoVAZ factory, home of the Lada car;
• Tsentralny ( Центра́льный ), also called Stary Gorod (lit. Old City ), home of the city government and industrial center;
• Komsomolsky ( Комсомо́льский ), the oldest district, built to house Hydroelectrical Plant builders.

The city's main claim to fame has been automobiles Lada ( Zhiguli ) manufactured by AvtoVAZ car plant employing some 110,000 people: in cooperation with Italy's Fiat since 1970, with General Motors since 2001 [17] and with the Renault-Nissan Alliance since 2012, and once again becoming an independent, state-owned enterprise in 2022.

Other industries have moved into Tolyatti because it is close to abundant supplies of electricity and water. Petrochemicals are well represented in the city. Among the significant enterprises based there are " TogliattiAzot " (Russia's biggest ammonia manufacturer headed [ when? ] by Sergei Makhlai ) and " KuibyshevAzot " (a nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer and Russia's biggest caprolactam and polyamide producer). Other industries include building materials production, ship repair and electrical equipment and electronics. [ citation needed ]

In 2011 the Tolyatti Special Economic Zone was launched in order to develop the region further and diversify the economy of the city. Several auto-component producers (German Mubea and Japanese Sanoh among them) have since been registered, as well as large industrial manufacturers ( Praxair and Edscha ). By November 2012 the value of project investment totalled 10 billion Rubles and around 3000 jobs were being created. [18]

The transport system is well developed in the city. Public transport includes municipal buses and trolley-buses, and so-called "alternative" (commercial) transport or marshrutkas .

External transport routes are provided by two bus stations, two railway stations and a city harbour. Tolyatti has its airport as well, but it is used by personal aircraft only (the nearest international airport, Kurumoch , is located 40   km away, towards Samara ). The city is linked to the federal road network by the M5 "Ural" highway . [ citation needed ]

The creation of the Kuybyshev Reservoir in the 1950s destroyed much of the city's history, so almost all the city's cultural points of interest date from the Soviet period, but the city administration has continued to build new monuments and cathedrals. A recent notable event was the 1998 opening of the large Tatishchev Monument near the Volga . The Transfiguration Cathedral was completed in 2002.

Education is represented by over one hundred public and ten private schools, as well as several higher education institutions. Most notable ones include:

• Togliatti State University ( Тольяттинский государственный университет, ТГУ )
• Volga Region State University of Service ( Поволжский государственный университет сервиса, ПВГУС )
• Tatishchev University of Volga ( Волжский университет имени В. Н. Татищева, ВУиТ )
• Togliatti Academy of Management ( Тольяттинская академия управления, ТАУ )

• AvtoVAZ Technical Museum
• Tolyatti museum of local lore

In the eyes of the Soviet leaders, Tolyatti was a perfect Soviet city (since most population migrated here during the construction of AvtoVAZ factories)   – many sports facilities appeared so that the "perfect Soviet person" could be healthy. The city has high-quality sports facilities: gymnasiums, swimming pools, ice arenas, association football and racing stadiums   — as a result, many athletes, including Olympic Champion Alexei Nemov , Stanley Cup winners Alexei Kovalev and Ilya Bryzgalov had moved to Tolyatti. Former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin , and former Washington Capitals winger Viktor Kozlov and defenseman Alexei Tezikov were born there. Daria Kasatkina , a professional tennis player, was born there. [19]

Tolyatti is represented in almost every kind of team sports. Tolyatti's Lada-sponsored Ice Hockey Club broke the Moscow teams' domination of the game. The Lada women's football team has won the Russian championship several times   — and the Lada women's handball team, who are the Russian and European Champions, is the core for Russian national women's handball. Men's football ( FC Lada Togliatti ), basketball and handball teams also take part in national championships. As for the traditional national sport of Russia, bandy , there is a team founded in 2013, TOAZ, [20] which however only takes part in a recreational league.

Mega-Lada Togliatti who race at the Anatoly Stepanov Stadium are a record 17-times champions of Russia . [21]

Tolyatti has many parks, and many of these contain monuments of cultural, historical, and aesthetic interest. Examples include Victory Park with its Victory Monument and other monuments, Liberty Square with its Obelisk of Glory and other monuments, Central Park with its Mourning Angel (a memorial to victims of Soviet repression), large statue of Lenin , and other monuments, and other parks.

And there are other monuments outside the parks. The City Duma has been energetic in creating or designating historical and cultural monuments, ranging from the colossal equestrian Tatishchev Monument to the tumbledown Repin House and a monument to a faithful dog , and many other types.

There are a number of local newspapers published in Tolyatti: Ploshchad Svobody , Tolyattinskoye Obozreniye ( Tolyatti Observer ), business newspaper "Monday" ("Ponedelnik"), Volny Gorod , Gorodskiye Vedomosti , and a few others. In the end of the 1990s, Tolyattinskoye Obozreniye published a series of articles on a local crime group. The stories drew attention to the group's connections with the local police. [22] [23] Subsequently, Togliatti Review saw two of its editors (Valery Ivanov and Alexei Sidorov) killed in 2002–2003. [24] [25] [26] [27]

The only local-born FM-band radio station is Radio August   [ ru ] at 70.64 and 102.3   MHz.

Tolyatti is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious city. Most religious people in the city are of the Orthodox Christian faith. Muslims are the second largest group of believers. [28] Also in the city are organizations of almost all major religions: Old Believers , Catholics, Jews, Protestants, Buddhists and others.

During the morning rush hour of 31 October 2007, a bomb exploded on a passenger bus in the city, killing at least eight people and injuring about 50 in what Irina Doroshenko, a spokeswoman for the investigative wing of the local prosecutor's office, said could be a terrorist attack. [29] At the beginning of the investigation, it was believed to be the work of terrorists from the North Caucasus . [ citation needed ] Early reports indicated possible involvement of Chechen terrorist Doku Umarov . [ citation needed ] However, the officials later named a 21-year-old Evgeny Vakhrushev, who also died in the blast, as the only person to be responsible for the tragedy. [ citation needed ]

The city also has a reputation for gang violence . [30] [31]

The city has witnessed a mafia killing spree: there have been 550 commissioned killings in Tolyatti over 1998–2004, five of those murdered were journalists. [32]

Three chief architects of Tolyatti were victims of violent crimes: Valery Lopatin was shot to death on July 7, 2004, Mikhail Syardin and Aleksander Kiryakov were also injured in violent attacks. [33]

A former city mayor (1994–2000), Sergey Zhilkin   [ ru ] , was murdered on November 15, 2008. [34]

On December   13, 2008, Anatoly Stepanov, a vice-speaker of Duma of Samara Oblast, a former head of administration of Tsentralny City District of Tolyatti in 1991-1997 and Tolyatti mayor candidate in 2004, was attacked on a street and left with serious head injuries.
