The men, aged 51 and 21, were arrested on Tuesday morning at a property at Derwent Park.
The arrests were made in relation to the seizure of more than 700 grams of methylamphetamine by Tasmania Police from the Spirit of Tasmania in late December, 2019.
Both men have been charged with trafficking in a controlled substance.
They have been bailed to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court on August 10.
