Martin Mayers and Jordan Antic were on Friday convicted by a Brisbane Supreme Court jury over the Miami Vice-style smuggling operation but their co-accused Victor Jocic was acquitted.
UK citizen Mayers imported 66.5 kilograms of pure cocaine and Antic attempted to possess 29 kilograms of the drug before their arrest at a Gold Coast roadhouse in August 2015.
They will be sentenced at a later date.
Jocic, who was also accused of attempting to possess 29 kilograms of pure cocaine, was set to walk free on Friday.
Mayers and Antic were involved in an enterprise to import 94 blocks of compressed cocaine that the prosecution labelled "sophisticated and organised".
The operation began with a luxury yacht in South America, crown prosecutor Lincoln Crowley said, before the men were arrested in August 2015 after Australian Federal Police swooped on the drug handover.
Mr Crowley told the jury when police arrived, Jocic had the doors of a white Hyundai van open and ready for loading, while Mayers was standing near a grey Toyota Echo filled with 40 blocks of cocaine.
Earlier, Mayers had helped bring the drugs from Ecuador via Vanuatu and into Australia, he said.
The haul had arrived the night before on a 13-metre yacht named Solay and skippered by Estonian man Arthur Rivkin.
Mr Crowley said the men bought tools from Bunnings to cut the drugs from hiding spots in the fibreglass boat.
Police videoed the men using an angle grinder and buying extension cords at the hardware store.
