Some say so, but the evidence seems to be unclear. They certainly KNEW each other -- Vespucci worked as the Medici's agent in Seville for a man who helped to finance Columbus's voyages. Also, Columbus mentions and commends Vespucci as a reliable man in a l1505 etter to his own son. Beyond this, most seems to be speculation.
That's basically the view taken by the following articles on Vespucci, which seem to be more careful than most in not going beyond the evidence:
