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.

Vehicular traffic on Puri stampede day was 4 times the volume of Rath Yatra's opening day
1 2 Bhubaneswar: A stampede that claimed lives of three devotees outside Gundicha Temple in Puri on June 29 coincided with an unprecedented surge in vehicular traffic, which reached four times the volume witnessed during the Rath Yatra's opening day on June 27, official records reveal. According to police, at least 25,000 vehicles arrived in the holy city on June 29, compared to roughly 6,000 vehicles on June 27. This massive influx created significant traffic snarls and other logistical challenges for the police. Additional director general (ADG) Dayal Gangwar, who oversees Rath Yatra traffic management, said, "Historically, Rath Yatra's first day typically attracts between 5,000 and 6,000 vehicles, while the Suna Besha ceremony usually draws 15,000-20,000 vehicles. However, this year festival's third-day turnout surpassed all previous records, primarily because it fell on a Sunday." The unprecedented vehicle surge severely strained existing infrastructure as parking facilities were designed to accommodate only 6,000 four-wheelers, based on previous years' requirements. "Upon noticing the extraordinary influx of vehicles and crowds, we immediately alerted Puri police, emphasizing the need for crowd management measures," Gangwar said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The New £23 per Month Private Medical Insurance That's Sweeping the UK Private Medical Plans Get Quote Undo "While extensive traffic congestion and funnelling exercise resulted in considerable waiting time for commuters, we managed to prevent any major law and order disruptions," he added. Ahead of the upcoming Bahuda Yatra on July 5 and Suna Besha on July 6, police have implemented comprehensive traffic management strategies, Gangwar said. "We have taken the support from the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack police commissionerate and Khurda district police. A real-time alert system has been established to facilitate immediate communication between these jurisdictions, enabling swift traffic diversion when necessary to prevent flow of vehicles to Puri. Bulk SMSes will also be sent to devotees about traffic arrangements," Gangwar said. According to DIG Kanwar Vishal Singh, "Traffic advisories for Bahuda and Suna Besha events have been issued. We have emphasized the importance of public compliance with the dynamic mobility plans, which are adjusted based on crowd density. We faced significant challenges during the first and third days of Rath Yatra, where unruly and uncooperative motorists refused to follow diversion instructions, resulting in extended traffic delays and inconvenience to others.

Shaheer Shaikh Reviews Director Mukesh Kumar Singh's Kannappa, Says 'Proud Of You'
Shaheer Shaikh took to his Instagram story to express his admiration for Kannappa, helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. Kannappa, the Vishnu Manchu starrer mythological drama, was released on June 27, with high expectations. While the film is receiving mixed reviews on social media, television actor Shaheer Shaikh took to his Instagram story to share admiration for the movie and its director, Mukesh Kumar Singh. In a wholesome post, the actor shared a clip of himself watching the film, accompanied by a glowing caption that praised the director's work. In a touching Instagram story, Shaheer Shaikh shared his excitement about watching Kannappa, posting a video featuring the film's title screen with intricate visuals. His enthusiasm was palpable as he wrote, 'Finally watching Kannappa." What followed was a touching gesture of appreciation for the director, Mukesh Kumar Singh, with Shaheer expressing his pride, saying, 'Proud of you, Mukesh sir." This sincere message conveyed his admiration for the director's work, showcasing Shaheer's genuine support for the film. About Kannappa The mythological drama Kannappa, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, has made a significant impact at the box office since its release in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. With the Telugu version leading the charge, the film has garnered attention for its star-studded cameos, featuring industry heavyweights like Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Kajal Aggarwal. The ensemble cast, comprising seasoned actors like Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Madhoo and Preity Mukhundhan, adds depth and richness to the narrative. Kannappa tells the inspiring story of Thinnadu, a tribal hunter who transforms into the revered Shiva devotee Kannappa. The movie chronicles his remarkable journey from an atheist to one of Lord Shiva's most devoted followers, showcasing his unwavering dedication and ultimate sacrifice. Interestingly, Vishnu Manchu recently revealed at a press conference in Hyderabad that some exceptional scenes had to be cut from the film due to subpar visual effects (VFX). Despite this setback, Kannappa has achieved significant success, becoming Vishnu's highest-grossing film to date. This is a notable turnaround, considering his previous films, Ginna and Mosagallu, struggled to cross the Rs 1 crore mark. On Shaheer Sheikh's work front, the actor was last seen in Do Patti alongside Kriti Sanon in the lead, where he played the role of an abusive husband named Dhruv Sood. First Published:
