The area where the captain steers the boat is called the bridge or the wheelhouse. It is typically located at the front or top of the vessel, providing the captain with a clear view of the surroundings. The bridge is equipped with navigational instruments, communication systems, and controls to maneuver the boat safely.
A steering wheel would steer a boat, and a captain would be controlling the steering wheel.
If the boat has an oarsman...a Coxswain.
It could be anyone. But mainly the helmsman, but it could be the Skipper (Captain) if it's a small sport boat like a bow-rider. But normally the owner of the boat or person hired to Captain the boat drives the boat or the helmsman.

The rudder is the part of the boat that steers. Although the tiller or wheel literally steers the boat, the rudder is in the water, moving with the tiller to change the direction of the boat
