Captain Richard "Dicky" Brendel Finding Dolphins since 2010. Captain Richard “Dicky” Brendel is home when he’s on the water in Charleston. He’s a longtime waterman, USGC certified Captain, an avid surfer, and quick with a one-liner that will definitely make you grin or at least stare at him with curiosity. He loves his salt marsh estuarine home and has a passion for sharing it with anyone asking for a look. When he’s not on the water, you can find him consulting with local musicians and entrepreneurs or cutting a fine rug on a Folly Beach dance floor. Richard’s heart is overflowing with good, salty love, and you’ll be lucky to feel that on your tour.
