The article is a meditation on Ermenautica, a collective of anthropologists, navigators, activists, cultural mediators, and marine lovers based alongside the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Mediterranean. A neologism recombining the terms “hermeneutics” and “nautical”, Ermenautica is conceptualized both as a venue and practice of freedom deeply attuned to the 'experimental turn' in contemporary anthropology. The author recounts a recent sailing trip with the collective across the Tuscan archipelago and presents their way of being together, their politics, as a floating republic – The Republic of Ermenautica – peopled by Ermenauts
