Actually, these definitions require a person to imagine themselves standing on the water craft itself, facing the front of the boat (usually the pointy end). The right-hand side is starboard, and the left-hand side is port. I once had an office manager who'd had many years of seafaring experience. On his desk was a prominently-displayed plaque with the engraving "Port is left".
