According to TMZ and Page Six, Magic got together with his wife, Cookie Johnson, a few long-standing friends and business partners.
The group looked relaxed, liked sunbathing, meals and chatting on deck chairs.
Photos from the same day showed a full luxury experience. The yacht had several guest rooms, a wide sun deck, a hot tub, and even a private chef. The vessel appeared similar to the one Magic rented in 2023, which was worth over $1 million per week, as reported by Boat International.
Magic has done this before. Every summer, he takes a long yacht trip around the Mediterranean.

Kaun Banega Crorepati Completes 25 Years , A Show That Boosted Amitabh Bachchans Stardom
Mumbai: Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who was recently seen in the Tamil film 'Vettaiyan', is celebrating 25 years of his iconic television show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. On Thursday, the veteran megastar took to his Instagram, and shared a post for the show. However, his choice of picture was something that didn't sit well with the post. The AI-generated picture was far from the show or its theme. The actor nevertheless wrote in the caption, 'Today 3rd July , 2025 , as I work on this years season KBC prep, I am told by the KBC team - 3rd July 2000, the first broadcast of KBC happened .. 25 years , the life of KBC (sic)'. 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' is one of India's most iconic television shows. It is also responsible for reviving the career of Big B, who back in time was facing a severe financial crunch. During the late 1990s, Big B's production house, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation (AB Corp) had gone belly up, given its overly corporate approach in times when the industry followed a very traditional way of making movies. In a bid to pay off the creditors, Big B took to the medium of television with 'KBC' in 2000. Suddenly, a megastar, who earlier was only accessible on the silver screen, reached millions of Indian households through television. With the strength of a new medium by his side, Big B not just booked the primetime of India for himself but also made a place in the heart of every Indian family. The Indian audience gave an overwhelming response to Big B in 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' which is based on the UK show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' The show was also hosted by Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan for one of its seasons but it didn't get as much a good response from the audience compared to Big B's stint.
