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.

Boats offering music and parties for tourists will no longer be allowed to operate from their traditional base in the port of Palma, opposite the Auditorium. The tender specifications issued by the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) for this space prohibit any activity that includes "parties or dances on board, with music produced by mechanical or electronic means, or through live performances by a musician or musicians." The tender also states that "activities, events, parties, or dances on board that, due to their nature, are annoying, harmful, unhealthy, or dangerous, or that significantly disrupt the peace, rest, or safety of users and the population of the city of Palma or the port of Palma" are also prohibited.
