The legislation will affect millions of Britons who visit the islands every year
The sale of alcohol between 9.30 and 8am was banned in 2020 to prevent partying tourists from disturbing locals in Palma and Magaluf in Majorca and San Antoni in Ibiza. However, these restrictions have now been strengthened.
Captains are prevented from sailing within one nautical mile of these places as well as picking up and disembarking passengers, according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin. Party boats had previously been banned from advertising in the areas. Luis Pomar, a Balearic Islands Tourism Council press officer told the BBC the 2020 law had curbed rowdy behaviour. He said the law would not be needed "in three to four years if we instil in people how to behave."
Palma mayor Jaime Martínez said one of the main objects is to "correct uncivil attitudes," according to Sky News.
