Dodgers

Dodgers That Fit Like a Glove!

The Ultimate Sailing Mate

Key Benefits

Transform Your Boat's Appearance

Faded canvas and cloudy windows can make the entire boat look neglected. A custom made Dodger restores clean lines, sharper proportions, and a more polished appearance from the dock.

Expand Your Living Space

A properly designed Dodger can turn an exposed cockpit into a more comfortable and functional living area. It gives you more usable space for entertaining, relaxing, dining, and spending time aboard

Protection Year round

Protect your boat with custom Dodger built to stand up to sun, wind, spray, and demanding coastal conditions. From precision fit to clear visibility and durable materials, every detail is designed to protect your cockpit without compromising the appearance of your boat.

Sail in Comfort

Sail in comfort with a custom made dodger designed around your boat. A properly fitted dodger, bimini, or enclosure helps shield you from sun, wind, and spray while improving visibility and making the cockpit more enjoyable—so you can spend less time fighting the elements and more time enjoying the water.

Protect Your Investment

Your boat represents a major investment. Preserve the upholstery, instruments, finishes, woodwork, and equipment that would otherwise remain exposed to the elements.

Increase Resale Value

Well-fitted, professionally designed dodger can improve your boat’s appearance, condition, and appeal to future buyers. Replacing faded canvas, cloudy windows, and worn hardware helps your vessel look better maintained—supporting its resale value when the time comes to sell.

Increase Lifespan

Extend the life of your boat’s cockpit and interior with a custom dodger, bimini, or enclosure reducing exposure to sun, wind, salt, and spray—protecting upholstery, finishes, electronics, and other vulnerable surfaces from premature wear.

Maribel's work was superb; she has an engineer plus artist's eye, and instantly was able to picture and hence design what we were vaguely sketching out for her. In other words, she turned our dream into reality, and our boat is SO much more usable, in all types of weather, because of the amazing enclosure she and her team constructed on our SeaRay Sundancer 340. She even came back out a few times to fix a few minor things, as she cares about her work. Highly recommend -- thank you Paul and Maribel!

I’m a proud owner of a 43 Bertram sport fisher and I like think done right and clean so it took some time to find the right canvas shop. Meridian canvas is your one stop shop not only did they knock it out the park I had black canvas done in my fly bridge without asking they even installed black zippers. Awesome job definitely they will do more work on the Bandido.
