looking forward in the boat, the left side is the port, the right side is starboard, the pointy end is the bow, and the back is the stern.
if you're facing the stern of a boat and turn ninety degrees to your right, will you be facing the starboard side of the boat?
Ha! You made that one tough...you didn't say whether you were in the boat facing the stern, or outside the boat facing the stern. Anyway, it's easy. If you're in the boat and you're facing forward (the direction of travel), the right side of the boat is the starboard side. Think of a car driving down the highway (in the US), the passenger is on the starboard side and the driver is on the port side.
When on board and facing the front of the boat where is the stern
False, you'll be facing the Port side of the boat. The Starboard/Port convention is as viewed when facing the bow.
If a person is in front of a boat right side is starboard, left side is port, front of a boat is called Bow and back is called Stern.
If you are facing the front (bow) of a boat, starboard will be on your right. If you are facing the back end (stern) of the boat, starboard will be on your left. The opposite side of the boat is called "port" because on boats with steering oars, the oar was located on what we call the starboard side, so the boats would tie up to the dock on the other "port" side of the boat, i.e. the Port they were tied up to was situated to the "port" side of the ship.
Back of a boat is called Stern ,Front of a boat is called Bow,When a person is in front of a bow,left side is port or right side is starboard.
If you are standing on the deck of the ship/boat and facing to the rear of the vessel (aft/stern) and you turn 90 degrees to your right then you will be facing port side (left). Now, if you are on the ground facing the aft/stern then you turned 90 degrees to your right you would be facing starboard (right) this is not true
Front of a boat is called Bow, Back is called Stern ,When a person is in front of a bow, right side is starboard and left side is port.
The right side of a boat is the starboard.
When onboard and facing the front of a boat, the starboard side is on the right side.
