Captain Elizabeth Andrews joined TRLMI in 2020, shortly after relocating to the Pacific Coast from the Atlantic Ocean, where she spent the first chapter of her career running privately owned and professionally crewed mega yachts. Andrews holds a USCG 1600 Ton Master license and is both a National Safe Boating Council and U.S. Powerboating instructor, as well as a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer. Her extensive offshore experience in the world of private and charter yachting offers her students a unique perspective amidst the predominantly military-trained staff of TRLMI. Both on and in the water, Andrews strives to create positive connections between her students and the ocean.
