The ship was operated by "designated terrorist organizations" and was travelling on a known smuggling route, the US Southern Command announced on X.
The armed forces accused the crew of being "narco-terrorists" and of engaging in "narco-trafficking operations".
A video was released that appears to show the boat exploding after an attack.
In recent months, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly ordered attacks on boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific, citing efforts to stop cross-border drug smuggling.
Critics say the deadly attacks in international waters violate international law.
According to official figures, more than 130 people have already been killed.
