According to a Key West police report, the migrants spent four days crossing the Florida Straits.
All 23 migrants were turned over to U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Under the "wet foot, dry foot" policy, Cubans who set foot on U.S. soil are typically allowed to remain in the country, while those intercepted at sea are sent back.
