No, here is an example of a morphism $f:X\to Y$ which is not affine although $X$ is affine.

Take $X=\mathbb A^2_k$, the affine plane over the field $k$ and for $Y$ the notorious plane with origin doubled: $Y=Y_1\cup Y_2$ with $Y_i\simeq \mathbb A^2_k$ open in $Y$ and $Y\setminus Y_i= \lbrace O_i\rbrace$, a closed rational point of $Y$.
We take for $f:X\to Y$ the map sending $X$ isomorphically to $Y_1$ in the obvious way.

Then, although the scheme $X$ is affine, the morphism $f$ is not affine because the inverse image $f^{-1}(Y_2)$of the affine open subscheme $Y_2\subset Y$ is
$X \setminus \lbrace 0 \rbrace=\mathbb A^2_k \setminus \lbrace 0 \rbrace$, the affine plane with origin deleted, well known not to be affine.
