The stern is the rear or aft part of a ship or boat, technically defined as the area built up over the sternpost, extending upwards from the counter to the taffrail.

Generally the captain is the 'stern' part of the boat ;)
but yeah - the back end.

If you have difficulty remembering, think of the expression to be blunt, and to be stern. Both similar "mood" words.
So the stern is the blunt end of the boat, i.e. the not pointy end.

Simply put...the pointy end is the bow, the flat end is the stern....

The same part you see when you fall off and it's sailing away from you.
