AIS Receiver with Bluetooth Support

Is anyone aware of an AIS receiver with Bluetooth support (vs serial port)?

We run our WxWorx Weather data receiver this way.  The WxWorx Receiver is
mounted in the ceiling on the bridge and connects to our Laptop with
Nobeltec charts via Bluetooth and it works great with no need to run a
serial cable.

I would like to add an AIS receiver using this technique if I can find an
affordable AIS Bluetooth solution.

Any advice and/or reference folks can share will be appreciated...

Thanks...

Pete
