Hi Neighbors.

"Our partnership with Yacht Hampton allowed us to raise the initial funds required to get our organization started, and has since provided part-time employment for our clients. Along with Joe and Yacht Hampton’s exposure, we’ve been able to directly impact the lives of eighty-one women and children in a time of need. In all of my experiences with Joe, his wonderful staff and his Yacht Hampton clientele, they have all been supportive, generous and most importantly, incredibly kind. We hope his business will continue to prosper since his continued support directly impacts the success of our fundraising efforts. These efforts help Cocoon Project to positively effect more lives by helping to create a comfortable home for domestic violence survivors to heal and transform."

So many deserve credit for taking part in this event, but as chairman of Fighting Chance, I am writing with a special “shout out” to Joe Ialacci, who operates the Yacht Hampton charter business at the wharf. Joe took part last year, contributed one of his boats and became a director of our charity. This year, he agreed to contribute two boats (both with captains). But as more guests registered, he added a third boat, and, at the last minute, a fourth boat. He came through in a pinch, and I am grateful, as is everyone else who worked to make the event a tremendous success.

Thank you so much for this incredibly generous auction item! This sounds amazing. We are very grateful. We are excited to be working with you. We appreciate your support for Bay Street Theater.

I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you and your wonderful Jubilance team for an absolutely amazing time. The event was a resounding success, myself and my team couldn't have been happier with the exceptional experience. It was truly a memorable occasion, and I can't express enough appreciation for your efforts in making it all possible. I'm eager to see this become an annual tradition!

To Whom it may concern, I am writing this on behalf of my experience with Joe Ialacci and Yacht Hampton. Recently, Joe offered the catamaran Jubilance to host a remembrance for my long-time boyfriend Kent Feuerring who passed away, and who also worked for Joe at Yacht Hampton. The handling and facilitation of this event should make apparent Joe's intentions for the use of his boats and marina. The experience could not have been further from a party boat or booze cruise as it has been referred to. What Joe Ialacci and Yacht Hampton bring to the community is an opportunity for a well-planned, elegant gathering of friends. Alcohol was at a minimum, and the cruise allowed for the appreciation of the natural beauty of the Hamptons which is of great benefit to both locals and visitors. The caliber of customers that Joe engages with are sophisticated and are looking for quiet enjoyment. I respect Joe's business practices and trust that he will do all he can to preserve peacefulness in the neighborhood and solve any concerns brought forward from his neighbors. I am available for further comment.
