Narrative:

Landed runway 16 [at] bvy. It was dark with moderate rain. Tower was closed. We elected to exit the runway with a right turn on runway 27 followed by a right turn on taxiway B. It was very difficult to see because of the rain and lack of adequate lighting and making a right turn with me sitting in the left seat. It was the proverbial black hole. Bottom line; I misjudged the turn from runway 16 onto runway 27 and cut the corner too soon and we got on a bit of the grass infield. We were able to return to the pavement with little difficulty and continued the taxi to the ramp. On post flight inspection no damage was noticed. After calling my chief pilot it was decided to have maintenance inspect the aircraft just to be sure. Like I stated above; with the rain and lack of any lighting I really should have been completely sure of my taxi path before I started the turn.
