The fisherman boats are small sized engine boats. The fishermen of Mumbai are called Koli. They detangle their fishing nets before they set sail in the Arabian sea for fish.

The Kolis-fisherfolk-of Mumbai is a distinct community. Their dress, their language, their food and their lifestyle they are easily distinguishable. Especially the economically independent Koli women who are aggressive to the point of being quarrelsome. Kolis, as the fisherfolk are known in Mumbai, are known to be easily excitable. The Kolis speak a local variation of Konkani which is a dialect of Marathi. The Kolis are divided into two main occupational classes: the Dolkars and states. The Dolkars do the actual fishing while the latter purchase the haul wholesale. They usually set forth in boats to meet the returning Dolkars and buy the fish. Their popular folk song Dolkar dariyacha Raja (Dolkar, the king of the sea) underlines his supremacy.
