Cala Gran Santanyí was heaving when the vessel stopped on the shoreline at around 6pm.
A video that has been circulating on social media shows about 20 people – mostly young men – getting off the boat.

The boat was reportedly the fifth to arrive in the Balearic Islands on Tuesday.
At 9am that day, two boats had landed in Formentera - one with 15 people on board and the other with 11.

Anti-tourist protesters storm 'drunk beach' in Majorca over 'low quality' visitors as Brits flock there on hols
It’s not known how long the people spent seaborne as they made the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean Sea.
More than 2,000 migrants arrived in the Balearic Islands by sea in the first quarter of 2024.
It comes as furious protesters stormed one of Majorca's most famous party beaches as they rage against "low quality" visitors to the island.
Anti-tourist marches have been taking place across Spain this summer raging at an industry they accuse of being built of drunkenness.
Campaigners also blame visitor numbers for other issues such as the cost of living and lack of housing in towns flooded by visitors.
Pictures showed the demonstrators laying out a banner which read: "Occupy our beaches".

Others carried signs saying "tourists go home" and raging that Majorca is ";not a f***ing theme park".
The group of around 100 protesters spoke to beachgoers during the demonstration.
