If you can remember this simple rule of thumb you will never wonder again. Right has more letters in it as Left. This goes the same for starboard and port. Green has more letters in it then red, therefore Red is Port and Green is Starboard, or Red is Left and Green is Right. This also holds true for aircraft.
Starboard (right) side
The USCG requires a 14-foot powerboat operating between sunset and sunrise to have navigation lights that include a red and green sidelight on the bow and a white light on the stern. Additionally, it is recommended to carry a flashlight in case of emergencies.

A white masthead light must be shown when a powerboat is operating at night.
When operating a powerboat at night white light should be shown on the stern and red and green lights on the bow.

I believe it is a white masthead light.
When operating a powerboat at night, the port side(left side) should display a red light. The starboard side(right side) should display a green light.
A powerboat less than 39.4 feet long is anchored at night white light must be visible from all directions.
RED

That what you see is a sailboat. The green light means you must give way.
