Yes, I use the Quark A023 AIS receiver along with a Glomex VHF Splitter and a stabilised 5v power supply, outputting via WiFi to Marine Navigator app on an old Android tablet. All works fine, and cost under £150:
Quark A023 £85
Splitter £56
Power supply £6
Total £147

The app cost about £9, plus another £15 for UK and Ireland charts

So I'd expect the NMEA version to work fine with your Garmin.
