The boat tours are ticketed in advance from those website links. While there may be some tours that's don't sell out, tickets go quickly. Everyone doesn't show up, so there are usually a few standby tickets offered for each tour. Besides the tours leaving from LSP you could go on ferry to Governors Island and take a boat tour leaving from there.
