The U.S. Coast Guard offloaded about 1,100 kilograms of cocaine and more than 4,000 pounds of marijuana Tuesday in Miami Beach.

The drugs are estimated to be valued at about $41 million and were intercepted in the Caribbean Sea.

Coast Guard officials said the marijuana was seized Sept. 20 after a Coast Guard plane spotted a suspicious go-fast boat in the water southeast of Isla Saona, Dominican Republic.
