Magic Johnson’s Children Join Him On Yacht Vacation In Europe: ‘Nothing Like Quality Family Time’

Magic Johnson and his wife, Cookie, are enjoying a lavish vacation in the Mediterranean Sea. For the occasion, the couple rented the Lürssen PHOENIX 2, a 295-foot yacht inspired by Art Deco style from 1930s New York.

The couple embarked on the charter boat earlier this month, kicking off their tour across the region. They stopped by several coastal towns, including Antibes in France, as well as Italy’s Portofino, Capri, Positano and Nerano.

Johnson has been sharing updates of his vacation with his fans via social media. On Sunday, the Hall of Famer shared family photographs shot on deck – sharing that his children joined him on the yacht.

“Cookie and I are excited to have our kids Andre, EJ, Elisa, our daughter-in-law Lisa and grandkids Gigi and Avery join us on the yacht!” he captioned a post.

Johnson has been exploring local cuisine and shared snapshots of himself enjoying the region’s fine dining, including freshly caught sea bass, pasta, pizza and Positano lemons.

“It’s nothing like quality family time and Cookie and I are just thrilled that God blessed us with an amazing and awesome family,” he wrote in an Instagram post.

Last week, Johnson invited several familiar faces onto the yacht, which included Samuel L. Jackson and his wife LaTanya Jackson, Judge Greg and Linda Mathis, John and Vicki Palmer, as well as Yvette and Michael Jordan, whom he referred to as the “greatest basketball player to ever live.”

Some of the couples indulged in a 1970s-themed party onboard. Guests dressed in disco-inspired outfits, which included flared pants, bright patterns and oversized sunglasses.

“The other night, the Phoenix II crew did an amazing job of throwing us a 70s party! We all dressed up and had a blast!!” Johnson shared in an Instagram post.

They renamed the yacht the “soul boat” for the occasion.
