The opposite of a boat can be considered a land vehicle, such as a car, since boats operate on water while cars travel on land. Alternatively, one might think of an airplane, as it operates in the air, contrasting with the boat's water-based function. Ultimately, the concept of "opposite" can vary based on the perspective of travel medium.
In opposite direction, but they are designed to propel the boat forward even if they rotate in opposite directions.
The opposite of port is starboard.Annex, branch, starboard...

When you jump out of a boat, the boat typically moves backward. This is due to the principle of conservation of momentum: as you push off from the boat in one direction, the boat moves in the opposite direction. The force exerted by your jump creates an equal and opposite reaction on the boat, causing it to move away from you.
The opposite of the stern (rear of the boat) is the bow, in the front.The extreme front of a boat or ship, above the water, is also called the prow or the stem, as in the phrase "from stem to stern."
The opposite of a large ship could be a small boat.
Prow is the front of a boat and stern is the rear.
The opposite of a large ship could be a small boat. The opposite of the verb 'to ship' could be to deliver, receive, retain, keep, or hold.
This is an example of 'action' and 'reaction'. Every 'action', like stepping out of the boat on to the shore causes an equal and opposite 'reaction', as the boat moves in the opposite direction. This is also how rockets move in the vacuum of space.
Aft is the back of a boat, the front is known as the fore
Newton's Third Law: For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The boat (and man) would receive an impulse force opposite to the direction of firing. The boat would move opposite to the direction of firing. To determine how much, you would need to consider the relative masses of the boat/man vs the bullet, and include the duration of the impulse. (The boat would probably not move far, but it would move.)
On a boat, the stern is the rear part of the vessel. When facing the bow (the front of the boat), the stern is located directly behind you. It's the opposite of the bow, which is the front section of the boat.
