Prosecutors say the men had about 621 kilograms on the boat Callisto, bound for Montreal. It's not immediately known if the men have attorneys.
The Coast Guard Cutter Dependable found the 49-foot boat, carrying the name Elegrance and flying a Candian flag, on Monday. Canadian authorities discovered wasn't a Canadian vessel.
