A Slice of the River Life: Cruise DC on American Pie
- 2hr
Step aboard American Pie, a lovingly restored 1985 Chris-Craft Commander Cruiser that blends retro charm with modern amenities for the ultimate self-catered private cruise. This 31-foot slice of Potomac paradise is perfect for small groups (up to 6 guests) looking for an intimate, stylish, and laid-back way to experience DC from the water.
Designed and restored by Captain Weston Birkett, a local waterway native with an eye for detail, American Pie is all about creating easy, joyful, memory-making moments — whether you’re cruising past the monuments, anchoring at Three Sisters Rocks, or paddling with friends during a port-to-port dine around.
This BYOB-friendly boat is equipped with everything you need: paddleboards, a floating sun pad, towels, coolers, and Bluetooth vibes. Just bring your favorite people and provisions — and let the good times float.
Why we love it for your party:
Classic Americana charm with a splash of 80s nostalgia
BYOB-friendly with fridge, freezer & cooler onboard
Float & paddle with SUPs and a 6-person SunChill float
Iconic DC views: monuments, bridges, and waterfronts
Bluetooth sound system to set your own vibe
Shaded interior + open deck for sun or chill
Small group luxury without the stuffy price tag
Nautiste creates design-forward, detail-driven experiences on the water — and American Pie is the most relaxed and playful member of their signature fleet.

Whether you’re floating, cruising, or dock-hopping, American Pie invites you to experience DC from a whole new angle — one that’s intimate, nostalgic, and just the right amount of fun.
