In 1713, the fort was handed over to Kanhoji Angre, the first chief of the Maratha Navy, under the treaty signed with Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath.The walls of the fort measure around 25 ft and has two main entrances, one facing the sea and the other facing Alibag. The Siddhivinayak Temple inside the Kolaba Fort was constructed in 1759 by Raghoji Angre.
