I thought that these party boats were banned at the moment. If not why not? No social distancing

A party boat rocked up at playa de San Pere in Alcudia a few days back. It ruined being on the beach for everyone else and then a coach party turned up from god knows where! It was mad. Abandon beach!

Hopefully this may help to get them banned, as they should be,I'm surprised that they don't have insurance issues. Crowds of drunken young people and going to sea to party is ridiculous and irresponsible, - we have enough with that in bars as it is. Nothing wrong with a nice boat trip, with a glass of sangia maybe, but you need real tourists for that, not the rabble that these attract.
