Brent Hermann
"I do believe it's time for another adventure." These have been words to live by for this home-grown Indiana boy. Growing up as the third youngest in a family of six, Brent Hermann has that unique “Midwestern” mentality of hard work. He gets that trait mostly from his father, who was a Chiropractor in their small town for over 50 years. His family was raised on the water so it is no great surprise he inevitably chose a profession that involves as much “hydrotherapy” as possible, but more on that later.
His deep-rooted work ethic, and profound sense of adventure led Brent into the Boy Scouts, which opened this young boy’s mind to unending possibilities. Hunting and fishing were and continue to be a large part of Brent’s life. Another passion that he holds dear to his heart is flying. Brent will readily tell you that one of his greatest accomplishments was earning his pilot’s license over two decades ago. “Flying just gives you a different perspective, and greater appreciation for life.” He has proudly owned three airplanes, including a VariEze by Burt Rutan, and an amphibian that he built himself!
If you’re looking for the best, most knowledgeable, and highly experienced broker to assist with your Catamaran search, contact Brent today. You having nothing to lose and a world to see.
Chris Adriance
Chris Adriance’s passion for the bay and his career spent on the water make him a great broker.
Chris spent his youth fishing and boating in the Adirondacks and other inland lakes of upstate New York. Following this passion, he has pursued a career as a fisheries biologist. Logging well over 100 days each year on the water.
He and his wife have been cruising the bay for nearly a decade now. First in their Catalina 25, Josephine. Wanting to go further and stay longer, they soon upgraded to their current Catalina 30, Josephine II.
His passion for being on the water doesn’t end there. His weekends are spent crewing on one of the local Annapolis J/105 boats. Previously he crewed weekly on a J/35. When he isn’t doing that, you might find him and his family motoring around ego alley in their vintage 1968 Boston Whaler that he restored.
He has also worked part-time in sales for nearly 10 years. Making sure customers are happy and completely satisfied with their purchase is his main priority.
Chris became a broker at Annapolis Yacht Sales in 2024.
