I have never seen one but I bet you could rig one. It is hard to tell by your pictures but do you have metal rails on the side?

If so, you can probably find some bimini top hardware to rig a mount to the rails. The dodger tops mount just like a bimini top but then they snap down on the front and sometimes on the sides.

If you inflatable has a wood floor you could mount snaps to the floor. If not, you might be able to rig up some type of velcro mount to the floor. The velcro may also work for sealing the sides to the boat.

A canvas shop might be able to design one for you or if you are handy you could look for a used one and modify it yourself.

Avon make them for their boats and you can buy glue on mounts for a metal frame and tie downs. You'd have to make your own frame and dodger but it shouldn't be too hard to do.

This is a recurring item in my thoughts. I solved it by forgeting ... as very few solutions did help me.

Currently I just have a trapezoidal canvas covering my bow zone, as I use a cargo net down it with plenty of material, to keep it dry and avoid seagull****.
But I believe a horizontal canvas is an invitation to seagulls as a pleasant restroom. I would prefer it to have an angle of inclination.
I need the hood/canvas/whatever to be flexible as I usually have to lean over it to tie/untie the painter to the buoy. Which is disgusting because of gull****.
Fortunately then I have to swim back to the beach for 200 meters so my belly gets cleaned.
But maybe this is not the kind of ideas you were looking for...

Bow dodgers/Spray covers do usually have that inclination angle that disturbs seagulls...
