Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group to an oxygen atom on the acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a palmitoyl group to an oxygen atom on the acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the reaction: palmitoyl-CoA + L-carnitine = CoA + L-palmitoylcarnitine. Catalysis of the transfer of a palmitoyl (CH3-[CH2]14-CO-) group to an acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group to an oxygen atom on the carnitine molecule.
