Sandbank boat pitched a lunch package we never booked — skip the food or pay to keep the peace?

Lunch add-ons are optional on many sandbank runs even when the pitch sounds mandatory. Say clearly: boat and life jackets only, we bring our own water and fruit. A reputable skipper will still take you; a sticky one who cancels over lunch is a skipper you did not want. Confirm the boat price in writing or at least repeat it aloud before boarding. I will not invent official package fees. Bring snacks so hunger does not push you into a bad buffet.
