Jokingly.
Whatever sort of floating object you have on any body of water (or stored in your barn, garage, back yard, etc.), the front is referred to as forward or bow. No exact spot is the bow, but it's all forward.
If one desires to go to a marina and ask questions about one's boat, go ahead and say pointy end. Some double ended canoes and rowing dories are also "pointed" in the back, rear, or the stern!
