The antenna is electronically steered. The pictures do not show any gimbal but they probably had to add an IMU to measure the motion of the boat (antenna) and adjust the antenna beam steering to compensate.

The Starlink Dishy already has an IMU in it. It does look like maybe the beam array is simply bigger.
