Allen was known for throwing star-studded parties on board Octopus during the Cannes International Film Festival in France.
The exclusive parties had a different elaborate theme each year, from Bollywood to Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," as Raisa Bruner previously reported for Business Insider.
Guests reportedly included "Rolling Stones" frontman Mick Jagger, model Karlie Kloss, and Hollywood A-listers George Lucas, Mischa Barton, John C. Reilly, and Chloe Sevigny.
At the Bollywood-themed party in 2015, dancers performed musical dance numbers for the guests.
For the "A Midsummer Night's Dream" party the next year, the yacht was transformed into an enchanted garden.
Guests were given flower crowns and the vessel was decked out with floral arrangements and illuminated trees.
While performers were always brought on board, Allen was known to get onstage himself and rock out to some Led Zeppelin.
Allen's $325 million superyacht is among several sizable assets that have been put up for sale by the late billionaire's estate since his death.
The estate is also selling a $110 million plot of land in Beverly Hills that Allen owned for more than 20 years and his MiG-29 fighter jet.
