We almost drowned
I had an unfortunate experience sailing with this company where we encountered a perilous situation in the Bay of Biscay, almost leading to our drowning/sinking the boat. To make matters worse, the so-called skipper relieved me of my duties because "i did not trust him" and the company did not providing any compensation, claiming I had signed a contract (thats true). It was definitely not a pleasant experience overall.
