The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 2002 to 2012 with seven boats built, but it is now out of production.^{[1][2][3][7][8]}

The Swan 82 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed fin keel with weighted bulb.

The boat has a draft of 11.48 ft (3.50 m) with the standard keel.^[1][2][3]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo D-4 diesel engine of 180 hp (134 kW) or a Yanmar 4LH-STE diesel engine for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 487 U.S. gallons (1,840 L; 406 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 237 U.S. gallons (900 L; 197 imp gal).^[1][2][3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people in three cabins, with two forward cabins each with two bunk beds, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a central island double berth.

A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. There are three heads with showers, one for each cabin.^[1][2][3]
