Two men accused of importing cocaine worth more than $61 million (US$41 million) into Queensland by sea will remain in custody.

Matthieu Anthony Rees, 44, and Rachid Kachour, 55, both from Griffith in the ACT, were arrested at their Canberra apartment on Thursday as part of an investigation into a quarter-ton of cocaine seized from a yacht moored in Townsville.
