If you are 100% sure the battery is fine then yes the starter is the next thing to try. Good thing is you can take it off and take it to autozone and get it tested for free.

If the battery checks out at over 12 volts, there should be a solenoid/relay bolted to the fender well near the battery with the 12 volt side of the battery leading to it. You can jump it with a screwdriver. If the vehicle cranks, change the solenoid relay. Check out a video on the net. There are hundreds showing you how.
