Leo Lynne, a commercial banker for many
years, enjoys boating and golfi ng….
so nobody was surprised when he sold
his fi nance company and headed to the
turquoise waters of the Caribbean. With
his 100-ton commercial captain license
he began to charter private yachts.
Never meeting a stranger he quickly
learned the array of yachts and crew
personalities and, with that knowledge, his
company Caribbean Charter Yachts (www.
CaribbeanCharterYachts.com) has become
a top agent for 100 privately crewed yachts
in the Caribbean from 40’-240’. These turn-
key exotic vacations can be customized
to fi t a wide range of budgets and create
lifelong memories. In his ‘’off season,’’ Leo
chose Pensacola, Florida, for his home.
Presented with a unique opportunity to turn
his second passion – golf, into a profession,
Leo and a few of his friends purchased the
Scenic Hills Golf Course and Country Club
(www.scenichills.com) which keeps him on
land more now than at sea. Scenic Hills
Country Club was established in 1958, and
recently Leo and his team have initiated
plans to build resort style accommodations
and residences to propel the Club to an
award winning local and travel destination.
Two successful law fi rms, economic
development progress, real estate appeal -
both waterfront and agricultural, along with
impressive growth of our region was the
foundation for a merger.
In 2018, Harrison Sale McCloy partnered
with Hand Arendall LLC. Both fi rms were
looking to expand and together became
one of the largest full-service law fi rms in
the Southeast region representing clients in
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and beyond.
The fi rm’s Destin and Santa Rosa Beach
offi ces are managed by Member/Partner,
Dion Moniz. His practice thrives throughout
Northwest Florida and he believes that
everyone needs a strong fi nancial advisor,
accountant, lender and attorney - what he
calls the “four-legged stool of successful
business”. Dion practices in the areas
of business/corporate law, real estate,
and commercial litigation. His business
law practice focuses on helping business
owners with every legal aspect of buying,
running and/or selling a business, and
his real estate practice encompasses
everything from single-family residences to
multi-million dollar commercial transactions.
