ResumoThis study investigates sea-based adventure experiences on the Greek island of Rhodes and their impact on tourists’ satisfaction, word-of-mouth (WOM) and re-experience intentions. On-site surveys were conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. Results indicated that the experiential dimensions of hedonism, escapism, and socialization were positive antecedents of tourists’ satisfaction and behavioral intentions. In contrast, flow experience was negatively related to the behavioral intentions of sea adventure tourists. Marketers should carefully design and manage sea-based experiences in order to satisfy and retain their customers.
