I believe the answer is:

craft

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'boat' is the definition.
(I know that boat can be written as craft)

'captain right towards stern' is the wordplay.
'captain right' becomes 'cr' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'towards stern' becomes 'aft' (I've seen this before).
'cr'+'aft'='CRAFT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for craft that I've seen before include "Cunning; boat, ship" , "Skilled workers" , "Skill; ship" , "It requires special skill" , "Boat - mastery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
