Answer

Why is the Port de Soller eclipse boat trip considered risky?

The boat leg depends on weather and sea conditions, so heavy seas could lead to cancellation. Even if the trip runs, a clear view of the eclipse is not guaranteed because the operator does not take responsibility for clouds. That leaves buyers exposed to both weather and visibility risk.
