==Operation==
[[File:Djurgårdsfärjan Djurgården Ferry Button 6D2B0674.jpg|thumb|right|From Skeppsholmen, ferry service is available upon request only]]
Depending on the time of day and day of the week, the ferries operate three, four or six times per hour. Two ferries are normally required to operate services, with an extra ferry required for the six services per hour frequency. The service carries some 2.2 million passengers a year.<ref name=wbab>{{cite web |url=http://www.waxholmsbolaget.se/resa/djurgardsfarjan/om-djurgardsfarjan/ |title=Om Djurgårdsfärjan |language=Swedish |trans-title=About Djurgårdsfärjan |publisher=Waxholmsbolaget |accessdate=23 September 2017 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160220032854/http://www.waxholmsbolaget.se/resa/djurgardsfarjan/om-djurgardsfarjan/ |archivedate=20 February 2016 |
Not all trips stop at Skeppsholmen, and a journey to or from there may require a passenger to travel via Slussen or Djurgården. Skeppsholmen is a request stop and passengers wishing to disembark there must inform a crew member on boarding. Passengers wishing to join the ferry are required to summon the ferry by pressing a button at the stop.<ref name=dftt/><ref name=sltt/>

Ferry traffic in Stockholm's harbour dates to the 18th century, when rowing boats were stationed at different locations. During the 19th century steam ferries took over traffic to be followed by modern motor-powered ferries. However road and rail routes increasingly took over, and the Djurgården ferry is one of the few of the harbour ferries to have survived.<ref name=wbab/>
[[Waxholmsbolaget]] took over the Djurgården ferry in 1970. In 2014 the responsibility for the ferry service was transferred to [[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik]] (SL), and it was fully integrated into that body's ticketing system. Waxholmsbolaget continue to own the ferries, and subcontracts their operation to Djurgårdens Färjetrafik, who are a joint venture of [[Serco]] and {{ill|Strömma Turism & Sjöfart|sv}}.<ref name=dfhm/><ref name=wbab/><ref name=slto>{{cite web |url=http://sl.se/sv/info/nyheter/sl-biljett-pa-djurgardsfarjan/ |title=Nya biljettregler på Djurgårdsfärjan |language=Swedish |trans-title=New ticket rules on Djurgårdsfärjan |publisher=Storstockholms Lokaltrafik |accessdate=23 September 2017 |archivedate=27 July 2014 |
