Ticket prices on the Northern Isles, Clyde and Hebrides networks will stay the same until September.
The fare freeze will allow state-run operator CalMac to release its timetables for April onwards.
Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth said: "The Scottish government is acutely aware of the particular challenges faced by our island communities, where the ongoing cost-of-living impacts are arguably more challenging than in any other part of the country. "Ministers are also mindful of the disruption on the ferry network in recent times - particularly in relation to the Clyde and Hebrides network.
"This fares freeze is the right thing for our island communities and I hope it will go some way to encouraging tourism this summer as island businesses continue to recover from the pandemic." Ms Gilruth added that the government would consider fares policy in the longer term as part of both the Island Connectivity Plan and its wider fair fares review in a bid to address the needs of Scotland's islands.
