Starboard

What is Starboard?

Starboard is a seafaring term. It indicates the entire right side of a vessel while standing at the rear facing the front side. No matter the orientation of the people on board a vessel, the starboard never changes i.e. it is always on the right side.

The opposite side of the starboard is referred to as ‘a port,' meaning the entire left side of a vessel.
