Narrative:

On a deadhead leg back to base with the first officer in the left seat; we flew runway heading off of runway 27 on the wylyy 5 RNAV departure that calls for a left turn swbound towards the first fix. The end of a long day; a seat swap; and nighttime conditions with the captain running after takeoff checklists; resulted in being queried by bos departure control of our heading. Upon realizing we neglected to follow the SID; we notified the controller of our 270 degree heading and were given alternate vectors and complied. Our part 135 operation are not approved for RNAV sids and stars. Our first mistake was accepting the SID; even as a 91 repos. Our non compliance would have been alleviated had both pilots been attentive to the improper flight path as well as the selection of the FMS as guidance by the PF. A more in depth briefing of the requirements of an RNAV departure and strict compliance with company SOP's would have been appropriate.
