The event occurred on a flight between ZZZ and ZZZ1. We had been delayed multiple times at our base of operations due to mechanical issues and eventually were switched to a different aircraft that became available late in the day. Throughout the rescheduling and refiling/updating flight plans we had taken consideration of our duty time and had set a latest takeoff time from base that would allow us to complete our flights and return to base before the end of our duty time. However in all that I failed to consider night landing currency for carrying passengers. It was not until after we had picked up our passenger and were enroute to ZZZ1 and the sun had set that the FO (pilot flying) looked at me and said that he couldn't make the landing as he was not night current. Then I realized I was not night current either. At this point we realized it was too late and continued to our destination. I had the FO do the landing which in retrospect as PIC I should have shown more initiative in taking full responsibility by taking the landing instead of putting the FO in the position of making a landing out of currency.A contributing factor is that in the past I have seldom carried passengers for my employer. Most often I am doing other type of flying with only required crew on board due to the aircraft being in the restricted category. But I have more recently been doing an occasional passenger carrying flight where I have to think about passenger carrying currency more. Also due to economic slow down there has been less opportunity to keep up currency especially night currency with our normal operations. For corrective actions I have made a checklist for myself that goes in my knee board specifically for passenger carrying flights; because they are so infrequent; that lists the pertinent things that should be considered during pre-flight and more specifically the more pertinent things like passenger carrying currency. This will be a checklist that I see when I open my knee board prior to flight and work through at the latest; just before engine start.
Corporate Captain reported neither crew member was current to make a landing on a night flight and realized it after they had departed.
