Just to be clear, as this whole Navionics thing is a little confusing.
When people in the non-Mac world usually talk about "Navionics" charts, they're refering to the Navionics cartridge-based cartography (Gold, Platinum etc) that is used by amongst others, Raymarine, Lowrance etc.
This is not compatible with MacENC or any other Mac-based navigation app, as it is in a proprietary Navionics format. This is what you'll get if you walk into your local chandlers and ask for "Navionics charts".
Navionics also product / distribute S57/S63 cartography which is available which does work with MacENC.
However, the only place that I'm aware of that sells this cartography is Chartworld, and even Navionics own web site doesn't advertise their S57 products.

Never knowingly overcanvassed!
