The 12-metre (36 feet) catamaran was found 80 nautical miles off Townsville on the northeast coast, but there was no sign of the three crewmen who had set sail from Queensland state bound for Australia's west coast on Sunday.
Three life jackets and survival equipment, including an emergency beacon, were found on board, but no life rafts.
The KAZ 11 was spotted adrift on the outer Great Barrier Reef on Wednesday. Rescue crews boarded the vessel on Friday but there was no sign of the three crew men, aged 56, 63 and 69.
Rescuers have retrieved the boat's GPS system to analyse data for clues to the mysterious disappearance of the crew.
