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.
