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
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?
90 degrees to the right faces port, 90 degrees to the left faces starboard.
False, you'll be facing the Port side of the boat. The Starboard/Port convention is as viewed when facing the bow.
False. If you're facing the stern - the rear - and turn 90 deg right you end up facing port.
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.
You are facing forward when you are facing the front of the boat. The stern is behind you and is aft. To the right would be starboard and left would be port.
That's the stern. The keel is under water, and the starboard side is the right-hand side when you are facing forward on the water craft.
When on board and facing the front of the boat where is the stern
Standing at the stern looking forward port is on the left starboard is on the right
The back of the boat or ship is called the stern. Also, when facing forward, the right is starboard, the left is port, the front it the bow.

Depends on whic direction you turn. Turning counter-clockwise will make you face starboard.
