Happy Birthday Magic Johnson! Here’s a look back at his summer ‘superyacht’ getaway

As Magic Johnson celebrates turning 62, let’s take a look back at the elaborate vacation he took across Europe this summer.

Bryan Hood, staff writer for the Robb Report, spotlighted the NBA’s icon’s yacht getaway in a article for the luxury-lifestyle magazine last month: “When you’re Magic Johnson, a simple European getaway just won’t do. You have to take in the continent by boat.”

Johnson cruised around the Mediterranean onboard the Aquila, a 281-foot superyacht.

To join in on the experience, the Lakers legend and his wife Cookie also invited along a star-studded group of pals, including Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J.

Johnson, according to TMZ, usually spends a month across the Atlantic each summer and he went all out for this latest vacation.

“The Aquila is the largest boat built in the U.S .since the 1930s, according to its Burgess charter listing,” Hood writes. “The yacht has a massive owner’s suite with a massage room, salon and private deck that overlooks the bow, along with six other spacious guest suites.”

Hood adds, “There’s also a cinema room, gym, two more massage rooms. When it comes time for entertaining, there’s a saloon called the London Bar, a beach club at sea level and a dedicated party deck with its own DJ booth, AV system and smoke machine.”

All that aside, Hood dubs the yacht’s “pièce de résistance,” a 36-foot ‘waterfall’ chandelier that stretches from the sun deck to the lower deck.
