Confidence votes 190. The sides of a boat are port {left}, starboard {right}, bow {front}, stern {back}, hull{bottom}, and keel{center}.
Port is the left-hand side of or direction from a vessel, facing forward. Starboard is the right-hand side, facing forward. Since port and starboard never change, they are unambiguous references that are not relative to the observer.he term is cognate with the Old Norse stÃ½ri (rudder) and borÃ° (side of a ship). Since the steering oar was on the right side of the boat, it would tie up at wharf on the other side. Hence the left side was called port.
