Elizabeth Ginns Britten, Associate Editor

Liz is the newest addition to the PMY team, coming to us as an Associate Editor with over 24 years experience in boating, and a degree in English Literature from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Liz literally grew up on boats, spending entire summers living on them with her family, and taking many boating vacations to places like Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, small islands off the coast of Massachusetts, as well as places like Montauk, Sag Harbor, and Shelter Island to name a few.

In addition, Liz is an avid angler, and spends a great deal of her time during the summer fishing the rips for striped bass at Great Round Shoal, close to Monomoy and Nantucket Islands. Her earliest angling memories are flounder fishing in the Boston Harbor, though she’s been Marlin fishing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and has fished for sailfish in Puerto Vallarta. In addition, she’s caught mahi-mahi in Hawaii, blue runner jacks and barracuda in St. Maartin, and much more!

Her family has owned a variety of boats ranging from smaller boats like Boston Whalers and Aquasports, to larger ones like Egg Harbor, Bertram, Hatteras, Viking, and, most recently, a Cabo. At eight-years-old, she was the youngest member of her USCG Auxiliary class. Today, Liz is looking into earning her captain’s license, is looking forward to being a PMY boat tester, and is enjoying writing for the number one power boating magazine out there!
