Magaluf Council is planning to crack down on notorious booze cruises known for their sexual antics, it has been reported.
Authorities are said to want to ban drunken behaviour on the boat parties where Brits abroad are plied with free alcohol and urged to play sexually charged drinking games.
'There is a legal vacuum when it comes to the regulation of party boats,' according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin which claimed it prevents action being taken against lewd behaviour on the water.

The holiday resort has become a well known destination for young Brits planning their first trip abroad with friends but 'this is about to all change', according to local reports
Following in Ibiza's lead, officials in Majorca are set to issue fines for drunken behaviour on the trips made famous in British comedy, The Inbetweeners Movie.
The holiday resort has become a well known destination for young Brits planning their first trip abroad with friends but 'this is about to all change', the Majorca Daily Bulletin claims.
It went on: 'The regional government is to establish a legal framework by which party boats will have to meet the same legal requirements as bars, restaurants and clubs.
'The government will therefore be amending the tourism law in order to put a stop to the booze cruises which adversely affect the image of some resorts, Magaluf being one.'
Misbehaving holidaymakers are already being punished with a new £87 fine on the mainland as frustrated authorities also seek a way to put an end to noisy nightclubs in Majorca, visited by 2.2million Brits a year.

Around 20 male tourists stripped off for a starkers skinny-dip before jogging back to their hotel with no clothes on in broad-daylight as shocked onlookers filmed them.
Some covered up their privates with one hand while others left their man hoods exposed to passersby, including a young boy, on Friday.
Only one of the Brits appeared to be dressed, with a couple of those that did have at least something on limiting their attire to just hats and sunglasses.
A Spanish local watching the outrageous scene could be overheard shouting 'mira, mira' - Spanish for 'look, look' - as a second man appeared out of nowhere to stop cars as the Brits ran across a road at the back of the promenade.
Council officials in Calvia, which covers the Palmanova area, confirmed 18 of the tourists had been fined after local police tracked down the hotel they were staying in.
All but one were penalised for infringing a by-law by exposing themselves in public and another for obstructing traffic.

Shocking footage of a brawl in Magaluf between Scotland and England football fans emerged on the same day.

Several fans appeared to be injured during the fighting, with one Scot being led away by a friend with blood pouring from a head wound.
Magaluf is a favourite party destination for British tourists who come to blow off steam and enjoy the cheap alcohol prices on offer.
Already, British holidaymakers have been pictured taking their clothes off, carrying sex dolls and lying in the street drunk on the Spanish party island of Majorca as party season begins.
But bad behaviour over the years, including binge drinking, sex in the streets, fighting and nudity, have given Brits a bad reputation with the Spanish authorities.

They are now issuing strict warnings to tourists that there will be consequences for those who misbehave.
Council officials are fighting to improve the area's image, where a lot of the rowdy behaviour is concentrated in a strip of bars known as Punta Ballena.
Their attempts follow a string of controversial stories surrounding the resort in recent years which tour operators say are putting people off visiting the island altogether.
Two years ago, officials announced plans to introduce fines of up to €3,000 (£2,182) for anyone caught naked in the street.
The new rules came into effect in June 2015, and also included hefty fines for anyone urinating in public or 'balconing', which refers to the act of drunkenly jumping from hotel balconies.
Spanish police vans make their way through groups of revellers. Authorities have previously vowed to crackdown on bad behaviour

That summer British police were even dispatched to the party spot as a trial to help Spanish officers deal with victims and offenders from the UK.
But pictures taken at the resort recently still showed revellers spilling out of bars and falling on the street.
In one photo a partygoer in a 'Willyman' costume - which is essentially a superhero outfit with a plastic penis attached - can be seen pointing his plastic prop at a young woman.
