FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-- Following formal expansion into Europe, KnowWake's development in Australia 
and surrounding region comes at the perfect time in order to support the 
country's growing number of recreational boaters.

KnowWake (https://www.knowwake.com), a first-of-its-kind, free waterway 
navigation app powered by crowdsourced data through real-time boater updates, 
has formally announced its expansion into Australia. This announcement comes on 
the heels of the company unveiling their development in Europe (

Wales, and beyond.

KnowWake's Australian growth extends the application's chart and 
points-of-interest into all six states and two territories, including New South 
Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, the 
Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory.

With a sizable and growing number of boaters, or "boaties," Australia needs the 
type of innovation and technology that KnowWake delivers to foster growth 
amongst the local marine economy, while also supporting demands for a reliable 
boating safety resource.

"We've had many requests to add Australia and New Zealand to the chart and 
we're happy to be formally established in the region. There's also a lot of new 
features perfect for getting connected this summer like finding friends, 
creating groups, and sharing a location," said Dan Karsko, founder of KnowWake.

According to Australia's Boating Industry Association (BIA) 2021 reports ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3361014-1&h=1028456014&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bia.org.au%2Findustry%2Findustry-data&a=Boating+Industry+Association+(BIA)+2021+reports 
), there are 2.5 million boaters in Australia, with 1 in 10 Aussies having a 
boating license. With over 925,000 registered boats, paddle crafts, and sailing 
dinghies, 85 percent of the country's fleet include boats under 6 meters. 
KnowWake has the ability to enhance user experience for boating participations, 
and generate an improved advertising and lead generation platform for over 
2,000 marine-based businesses contributing $8.835bn to the nation's economy.

Comparable to a Waze or Google Maps for the road, KnowWake creates an easy way 
to find dockside and waterfront destinations available by boat. Users can 
locate everything from marinas, restaurants, dive shops, services, yacht clubs, 
and much more. KnowWake's mission is to improve the entire boating experience 
by making it safer and more enjoyable for all.
