The boat, carrying 65 people and three crew, was located three nautical miles north-west of Ashmore Island at 7pm (local time) yesterday by navy boat HMAS Maitland.
It is the third boat intercepted in the past week.
A boat carrying 83 passengers and four crew was found 150 kilometres south of Ashmore Island on Friday night.
