The companies that organized the maritime excursions known as party boats based in the port of Palma have decided to take to court the decision of the Port Authority to expel them from the area where they are currently located (in front of the Auditorium) due to the new layout of the port of Palma. Five companies in the sector, Barca Samba, Cruceros Marco Polo, Mallorca Sailing Catamarans, Nautical Adventures, and Ociana Calvià have filed an administrative contentious appeal against the tender promoted by the Balearic Port Authority (APB), which in practice means their expulsion from the 'golondrines' pier and a profound shift in the model of tourist activity within the port precinct.

The Board of Directors of the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) has agreed, at a meeting held in the port of Palma, to launch a public tender for the management of moorings at the local traffic terminal for vessels popularly known as "golondrinas" (swallows), which will include a ban on carrying out party boatsFurthermore, the council itself has approved granting a 15-year extension to the Portitxol Nautical Club, until 2040, and incorporating approximately 12,000 additional square meters of water surface to reorganize and expand the marina and nautical services of the facility. Regarding the management of the local traffic terminal, the concession also includes the management of two moorings designated for the Nautical Bus service. In the new concession, located on the Palma seafront, service will only be provided to vessels on the second list, that is, merchant ships for the transport of people, and those included in the tourist registry of the Island Council of Mallorca that allow them to organize parties or dances on board with music, known as [unspecified activity], are expressly excluded.party boats.
