on the Black Sea

SOCHI GRAND MARINA, RUSSIA
At the end of September, Burevestnik Group
gathered its friends, customers and partners on
the Black Sea coast for an exclusive Dolce Vita
Party at Sochi Grand Marina. The event was
to celebrate Ferretti Yachts’ 50th anniversary
and took place at the same time as the Rus-
sian Formula 1 Grand Prix in Sochi. Live piano
music and a dynamic brass band performance,
thrilling dancers on stilts, and delicious drinks
set a holiday mood for the event, and the warm
weather acted like a wonderful leitmotif for the
evening. The Dolce Vita atmosphere was un-
derscored by the display of Chopard Jewellery,
Rolex and Hublot Watches, Ferrari Sports Cars
and bronze sculptures by Andrey Ostashov. A
glorious Ferretti Yachts 920 was presented to
the guests at the end of the evening. The yacht
attracted the guests like a magnet, offering
them the chance to admire genuine Italian style
yachting by Ferretti Yachts.
