Yes. In coalition with their Greek allies, and led by Sparta, they had carefully planned the battle to take place in a narrow strait where the Persian navy was split in entering around both sides of the island of Psytttalia, and the Greek navies caught them as they were strung out getting through and vulnerable to flank attack.
They had also conned the Persians into sending a third of their fleet around the back exit of the strait to prevent them from avoiding battle, and so the Persian fleet actually engaged was minus this important force.

What was the role of the Spartans in the Persian War?
There was no 'Spartan-Persian' War. There were two main Persian invasions, in 490BC by Darius I and 480BC by Darius' son Xerxes I. Sparta arrived too late at the main battle of the First invasion which the Athenians crushed at Marathon. In the second Persian war, Sparta sacrificed their best men along with their King (Leonidas I 490-480BC) at the battle of Thermopylae. 700 Thespians and 300 Thebans also gave their lives to delay the Persian advance. The Persians marched onto Athens which they sacked while the Athenians were safe on the island of Salamis. The Athenian fleet then defeated the vastly outnumbering Persian fleet at the battle of Salamis. The enormous land army engaged with 10000 Spartans leading about 30000 other Greeks at the battle of Plataea in 479BC and defeated the Persian invasion which then returned home to Sardis.
