deckside

Beside the pool

Deckside means at or near the deck of a ship or pool: We had drinks deckside while watching the sunset.

The word functions like poolside or dockside, indicating location rather than direction.

It appears most often in cruise ship and resort contexts, describing areas adjacent to outdoor decks.
