[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Really surprised by all the people saying to go. It isn't just the naps that are the issue (which yes we can divide and conquer). With all of the other kids being so much older and a bit more flexible, dinner tends to be late vs. early and some of the activities just aren't great for a 1 year old like multi-hour boat trips (which I know they do almost daily), fishing, hiking, etc.

Unfortunately the baby does not nap well (or at all) in the stroller/carrier. She needs to be somewhere dark and quiet or won't sleep for more than 20 minutes and is a disaster. We have tried it many times. We do push her sometimes when we are home, but not for like 7 days straight. A cranky overtired baby is not fun for anyone to deal with for multiple days while on a trip.[/quote]

So then go take baby somewhere else while everyone else goes out on the yacht.

Are you seriously going to by pass this awesome-sounding vacation -which your older kid will absolutely love -  simply b/c your 1 yr old has to nap  and can't do every activity? You've got a long road ahead of you if your world is already dictated and revolving around a 1 yr old - and who knows, maybe she'll surprised you and do really well and won't need this charade of being in a dark room for 20 min to settle down, etc. With the new scenery and fresh air she'll naturally tucker herself out.
