American Pie is a restored version of an American-made classic: the Chris Craft 315 Commander.
Owner and Captain Weston Birkett took great pride and care in American Pie's full mechanical and cosmetic refit in 2024.
For the refit, the owner enlisted Nautiste to develop a style guide for his restoration, elevating the 'good-old-boat' into a stylish, retro venue for unique DC escapes.
American Pie is outfitted with customized additions, like her teak swim platform & ladder for easy access in and out of the water.
New to Washington DC? Visiting for the first time? Captain Weston has more than 17 years of experience boating on the Potomac, and is glad to be your personal waterway guide.
American Pie is 32' long, and has lots of space for privacy to enjoy serene evenings on the water, including her foredeck, cockpit, flybridge, salon, and swim platform.
Aboard American Pie, guests may bring aboard their own food & beverage, or enlist Nautiste to design a catered experience by one of our preferred partners.
Forgot something? American Pie is outfitted with sunglasses, sunscreen, and quick-dry towels so you can enjoy a stress-free day on the water.
American Pie is perfect for cruising Washington DC's 'monuments row' on any given weekday, weekend, and especially summer holidays.
Complement your Potomac 'slice of heaven' with pizza from one of our preferred partners. Bring it yourself, or enlist us to pick it up for you to enjoy upon arrival.
American Pie is the stylish cruisers' choice for sightseeing on the Potomac River, from Georgetown to Mount Vernon, The Wharf, Alexandria, National Harbor, and Navy Yard.
American Pie is outfitted for full-day experiences at anchor with amenities like (2) stand-up paddle boards, a SunChill float, (2) coolers, a fridge, freezer and propane grill.
Captain Weston and crew handle departure & docking so you can enjoy an effortless full-day (8-hour), half-day (4-hour), or Golden Hour experience (2-hours) on the water.
Captain Weston and his crew look forward to welcoming you aboard, bookings available April through December 2025.
See Washington DC like you've never seen it before, in retro casual cool aboard motor yacht American Pie.
