Concession at the Paseo Marítimo: End of the Floating Disco?

Answer

Why are party boats being left out of the Paseo Marítimo tender in Palma?

The new tender conditions are designed to favour charter companies and marina operators with larger fleets and more investment capacity. That makes it hard for small party boat operators to take part. The aim appears to be a quieter, more controlled harbour use, but it also narrows the field for smaller businesses.
