When should captains push back on unsafe owner requests?

Editorial starter topic — awaiting industry responses. This is a Superyacht Guide starter topic created to show the kind of practical, sensitive or operational questions Industry Voice welcomes. It is not presented as a real person’s submission. Captains are expected to deliver privacy, comfort and flexibility, but they also carry responsibility for the yacht, guests, crew and environment. Where should the line be drawn when an owner or guest asks for a plan that creates avoidable risk? Have experience with this issue? Submit a response, correction or confidential note.
