Those who trust The Bible will say "Yes." Others will say "No." However there is one way to establish whether this miracle is likely to have happened. That is to look at the original account in its full context and see if there are other reasons for this narrative.
Scholars have established that the first New Testament gospel was the gospel now known as Mark's Gospel, and that this was the source for the other gospels that wrote about Jesus walking on water. In Mark 6:33-8:21, we can see a contiguous series of miracles and discourses with at least ten references or allusions to food, with a theme of the disciples not understanding. The miracle of Jesus walking on water is one of these:
B .The baptism of Jesus (1:9)
C . The voice of God from heaven, "Thou art my beloved son" (1:11)
D . The forty days in the wilderness as an allusion to Elijah and Moses (1:13)

F . Jesus casts out an unclean spirit (1:23-26)

-- Where he was brought up
N . The people misunderstand Jesus and he can do no mighty work (6:2-6)
O . Jesus sends out the disciples and curses those who will not receive them (6:7-11)
-- in sending the disciples with authority and expecting all to receive them, Jesus is asserting his own authority
P . Herod thinks that Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead (6:14)
Q . Herodias and her daughter conspire to kill John the Baptist (6:16-29)

A' .The young man explains the departure of Jesus(16:6-8)
Notice how elegantly each important event in the first set has exactly the right matching event in the second set? So when the reader comes to the Last Supper (event R'), he understands but knows that the disciples do not. This is a sign of literary creation, not history.
